once you separate the concept of worry from the concept of problem-solving everything in life becomes thirty percent more bearable
the idea that worrying for its own sake is productive in any way, shape, or form is literally magical thinking. if there's nothing that can be done, i might as well Chill
Sometimes I forget this isn't an obvious complete conclusion and I try to comfort someone by telling them that they have no control over a situation and they're like "Why would you say that??? Now I feel worse???"
