I've figured out if I keep myself busy and stressed about more mundane things that I do better. When I'm not thinking about the bigger picture as much, and I'm worrying about little things like homework, papers, auditions, display cases, etc., then I don't have such a hard time as when I'm worried about my family, my relationships, etc.
So here's what I'm letting myself worry about now:
- Display case in about fifteen minutes.
- Work tonight (I have to close).
- My audition tomorrow (memorization, performance, and of course, casting).
- My 5-7 page paper due in about a week and a half.
- My grades in my classes.
- Queer and Allies group in general.
- Getting my costume for halloween.
If I let those things get to me, then it's a whole lot easier than if I let other things get to me. Here's what I'm not letting myself worry about/think about (save for right now when I'm typing them out):
- My relationship with Matthew.
- My Father.
- My sister.
- My Mother.
- My little brother.
- Mahomet-Seymour's schools and its general bullshit.
ABRUPT ENDING!
- As Always -
