OP, I think you and I are in a similar place. I don't see myself getting promoted at my part-time job anytime soon, or getting another okay-paying job that I wouldn't suck at. My writing is stagnant because looking at the word docs exhausts me. I'm living in a hoard house but have no real motivation to move forward with plans to move out, because I don't have a sufficient financial cushion. Combined with unfortunate self-destructive tendencies, I really have no idea where life is taking me, if it's taking me anywhere.

The phrase that irritates me is slightly different. It's "don't worry about things you can't control." Like, that doesn't make sense to me. I can and will worry about things beyond my control, and I will do it to distraction and worse.

"Like, that doesn't make sense to me. I can and will worry about things beyond my control, and I will do it to distraction and worse."

nayrt - But that's the reason they say not to worry about things you can't control - because worrying about it to distraction and worse doesn't do anything but distract and agitate you. It's meant that you should try to focus on the things you can't control and while we still might worry about things we CAN'T control, not to worry about it to a degree where it's all-consuming. Because it doesn't help the problem, or make me feel any better.
