Worry some more

Worrying is the mind's way of making you stay awake and active. Worrying makes you a better person, because it helps you decide what is important and what needs to be done. Of course, worrying beyond a point is useless. Having this kind of worry is like being in a wormhole. You worry. Your body goes stiff. You can feel your mind racing and the whole world goes round at a faster pace. Your heart jumps into your mouth and jumps like a fish out of water. A burning flame clutches your eyes. These sensations make you worry harder. And work lesser.
Worry holds your mind hostage. Suffocates it and ties it up. Holds on so tight that after a point you give up. Worry takes on a form. You give her a name. She nags and taunts. She points and laughs. She grows fangs and horns. Then just as the situation that caused the worry eases up... you have Stockholm syndrome.

You miss worrying. Actively find situations to worry about. She is so much a part of you that a moment spent away from her shadow... is just frightening.
