A Personal Reflection
[This doesn't exactly fit in with the current style of Happy Adventure postings, but in a way its relevant...]
I realized that i am still a very worrisome person. I would almost call myself nervous, but really it's only when i worry. When i worry, i'm also quite creative, as i think of every possible depressing, saddening, or otherwise bad reason supporting and enhancing my worry. I build up the worry so much that it becomes ridiculous, at which point i begin to realize that in all likelyhood, whatever is making me worry can't possibly be as bad as i'm imagining it to be, and i start to relax. Or else i search for and find something that relieves my worry, by snapping me back into reality, whether it be some quote or a comment by someone, or similar advice. Fortunately, i've gotten this recovery period down to a few hours now, and i'm feeling better. The worry-attacks also don't happen often anymore, and i can usually stop things from becoming worrisome alot better than i used to. I guess i'm making some progress :)
For some reason i felt like blogging about this, despite some hesitations (because this is my first feeling-revealing post i've made).

I think that's the danger that comes from being introverted and thinky. An active imagination can be a good thing, but it also has the potential to backfire.
