I have noticed that there have been a lot of posts with worries about the future and relationships.

I am a recovering obsessive worrier. I used to worry all the time about things in the future...from little logistical details to big life questions. I worried if I would ever find love, if my career would be good enough, if I would ever feel truly happy.

Before moving to France, I went to see a therapist for just a few sessions. I wanted to calm myself down from all these worries about logistical stuff with moving to France, worried about making friends in France, and wondering if I was on the "right" path. The therapist remarked how I had mentioned a million things I worry and NONE of them were about my relationship with my SO.

I realized that my relationship was the only thing I felt secure with. Why? Because I know that in my heart, what I want more than anything, is to spend the rest of my life with him. I know that I cannot predict the future and anything could happen, but it's like, I am so sure about it in my heart that I no longer worry. Because I know that since it's my strongest desire, I will do everything I can do and give it my best and the rest is up to chance and him.

Upon realizing that, I have slowly become less worried about other portions of my life. As long as I follow what is in my heart then I have done right by me. As for the rest, I have no control over that. So why worry?
