I once heard that bad things come in 3s.

...deep breath.

That is an amazing picture, along with the past three. What does it mean-Is there actually a thunderstorm coming? I don't think bad things come in 3s-seems very superstitious to me. There seemed to be a very big change last week between Tuesday and Wednesday and I don't know what is really going on but it sounds like you need some stability. What happened to the smilies, the awesome adventure, and being satisfied?

This is your life, and to a certain extent, you control what happens and the way you perceive it, meaning -you- define what "screwing up" is. There are some things that we can change or affect, and other things that we can't, but what those things are that you decide to focus on (and how much effort you put in) are up to you. Everyone gets scared and worried at some or many points in their lives, but thinking about hypotheticals that only cause fear and paralysis doesn't help. This reminds me of a poem...

Whatif by Shel Silverstein

"Last night, while I lay thinking here,
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there's poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow taller?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won't bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems swell, and then
The nighttime Whatifs strike again!"

I don't know if what I said makes sense, but I hope that helps.

Take Care,
Josh
