Don’t sweat the small stuff.  It’s going to be your new mantra.  Those words are gonna guide  you like a seeing-eye dog.

 

I got this. . . you tell yourself, slipping your feelings into a Teflon suit. No more getting all in a tizzy over superficial nothings!

 

Then within minutes, so-and-so raises her eyebrows, notes, “Oh, you cut your hair…” and walks away.  Either that or you forget the optional ingredient that would surely take your recipe from ho-hum to orgasmic, and you can have no peace.

 

Soon you’re not only SWEATING the small stuff, you’re drenched like you were just chased twelve miles by axe-wielding zombie Vikings.  The trivial stuff is once again eating away at your very SOUL.

 

Wait…you think.

 

Maybe I shouldn’t sweat the small stuff, but isn’t it equally true that little things mean a lot?

 

Isn’t it the God’s honest that I should acknowledge my FEELINGS?

 

The truth shall set you free.

 

Unless you’re trying to choose between two who are fighting for the heavyweight championship.

 

Then the truth just makes you hopelessly confused.
