"Everything is going to be OK"
I moved apartments the past couple of days and with moving always comes stress. Moving creates a fresh start, but before this clean slate comes chaos. As I was driving to my new apartment with the last few things packed in my Honda, I came to an intersection and read a banner along a fence that said "Everything is going to be OK". It was fate. Really, truly, honestly - as lame as that sounds. As I read the banner a sense of relief came over me. Only at this point did I realize I was filled with anxiety. I've come to learn a lot about myself over the past year, one of which is that I know I become easily stressed by things completely out of my control or by things that will work themselves out all in good time. I read the banner a few times through, took a deep breath, and proceeded driving as it was my turn at the four-way stop. I smiled as I kept driving to my destination because the message could not have had better timing. My roommate and I encountered a couple issues at our new place that I was fixated on and the message was loud and clear - stop worrying Adrien, it said, and so I did.
