Take three slow, long shallow breaths through your nose.
See the secret beauty in being ok with uncertainty. Psst. No one knows what they’re doing.
They may say they do, but they’re as in the dark as you are. I’m not kidding. The future doesn’t exist, and as humans, we wish it did, but it doesn’t. And that’s ok.
