No non event joy

It’s funny how the non occurrence of an anxious projection doesn’t result in joy.

There’s a modicum of relief if you’re lucky before the next wave of anxiety says:

But how can we be sure?

You’d love if the levels of anxiety pre the potential catastrophe resulted in equal levels of joy post the non catastrophe.

Then it might all be worth it.

Then it wouldn’t be so bad getting so anxious because you’d know for certain you’d get as much joy in events unfolding favourably and they didn’t, well then your anxiety was right and you are a fortune teller.

That would be a win-win but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Boo!
