Can't really help it.

A big fear of mine is being cheated off of something that I had worked really hard for. And I realize it happens on an almost daily basis. You get told if you work hard enough you might find yourself in a position where you wouldn't need to be worried about the rewards.

Hello there, I am the Earthian.

And you do work really hard. So hard that you assure yourself that whatever you're working for is just inevitable at this point. And then you get flicked off by life in one way or another and you realize that there never was a reward, that everything you worked for was just for nothing. Maybe not nothing. Its very easily said than done, living without expectations, I know. I really do try my very best to not think as much about the future as I do. Others' experiences needn't necessarily turn out to be my own, no matter how much the evidences suggest they could be.  Does the fear help? Not really. Does the anxiety help? Definitely not. Can I do something about it? Quite possibly. Will I do something about it? Not sure. It keeps me going, not necessarily in the way I'd like it to go, but it is what it is. Can't complain much.

Love, peace.
