: As time moves on, and I age by the second, all that I become more aware of is how so little control I have over anything in this whole entire world.
But do you need to feel like you have control over so much? In a way, becoming aware of how little control we have over anything in the whole world is a GOOD thing, don't you think?
Personally, the older I get (and I'm not SO old yet :), instead of getting despaired about losing control (because if I think about it, yes, it IS a bit frightening... the thought of things getting out of control...) well, I choose to kind of go with the flow, and simply find the wonder in how things change, and how so much IS out of my hands, and it takes pressure off me... I don't feel responsible, and can't feel guilty.
