2015 – 2025: a decade of days


normally or naturally

I am trying to remove myself from any added pressures so I’m trying to move at my own pace. Normally, however, my pace is somewhat greater than it has been.
   Consistency, I feel, is important.
   I have, normally or naturally, been fairly predicable; even in the most unpredictable ways. I feel I need to be less so, or maybe my concerns need to be less predictable. Especially when those apprehensions are not always my own.
   Maybe that is my lesson: your pace need not be predictable, it only needs to be your own.
   Lately, I’m feeling like I own too much of the pressure and that it has become an expectation of me to do so.
   So, I’m trying to deal with it.
   I suppose, in the process, I am trying to lessen all my expectations of (or on) myself.
   Expectations lead to apprehension.
