The article reflects on the author's struggles with the constant state of chaos and uncertainty in today's world, which has led to a pervasive sense of anxiety. The relentless pace of change and daily crises create an environment where individuals feel the need to brace themselves for unforeseen challenges. The author grapples with internal questions about personal adequacy in the face of unpredictability. Acknowledging that plans and control are often illusions, the piece emphasizes the importance of confronting fear and uncertainty rather than attempting to outmaneuver them by rigid planning.
I find myself waking up already bracing for what the day might bring. It's like the ground is constantly shifting, and we're all being asked to find our footing in real time.
I like a plan. A path. A sense of direction. I've always found comfort in being the one who 'has it together,' who can anticipate needs, offer advice, solve the problem.
