Numbers, The Worst Kind

It is natural for someone to be controlled by the numbers around them. I know I am. Ever since I was a kid, to be honest. Of course the circumstances have changed- and so have the numbers, but their impact has stayed.

Numbers went from being chalked onto the sidewalk in a haphazard hopscotch and timing how fast I could run around the track, to the little led screen at the top of the scale and how a failing grade meant a failing future.

I've slowly compiled a list of numbers that I've grown to hate. Whether it be weight, or dates, or grades, enjoy my small list of negatives. (In no particular order.)

74.4

18

105.6

55

2

24.5

632

To me, these numbers are defining. They control almost every aspect of my life and are some of the most disheartening things I know.

But what do you see when you read this list? Can you say with full confidence exactly what each of these mean? Do you know which part of my life these all come from? No. You don't.

Because at the end of the day, that's all they are. They're just numbers on a page with no real significance. That's what you have to remember when you get in your head about the numbers in your life. There is no rhyme or reason to letting them control you.

Take a deep breath today. Write down all the negative numbers in your life and let them just be that, numbers on a page.

Feel free to tell me what numbers control your life, either down below or through my DM's.

Sending love and care,
