"I&amp;amp;#8217;m a worrier. It&amp;amp;#8217;s at least partially genetic&amp;amp;#8212;my grandma&amp;amp;#8217;s a worrier, my mom&amp;amp;#8217;s a worrier, and odds are my hypothetical rugrats will also be worriers. I stress about big things like my career and small stuff like whether I want falafel or tacos for lunch. As a general rule, I&amp;amp;#8217;m always at least moderately anxious about something. Given my relatively privileged position in this world, worrying is not only irrational, it&amp;amp;#8217;s also an affront to everyone who has something truly worrisome to deal with. Which has me worried. But every once in awhile&amp;amp;#8212;like this weekend&amp;amp;#8212;I have a moment of truth.With my homegirl Kate from the Chicago.Now, as a dating blogger my job is thinking about relationships, and over the last few months I&amp;amp;#8217;ve turned into a workaholic. At the same time, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been agonizing over what direction I want to take in terms of my writing and day job. Mix it all together and you end up with one very confused boy. Check out my picks for &amp;quot;The Wackiest Outfits of Spring 2010 Fashion Week&amp;quot;. It&amp;#x27;s kind of disturbing how much I enjoy doing these fashion slideshows. The light bulb turned on for me Friday night. Was I watching a beautiful sunset, reading a Shakespearean sonnet, or having a deep conversation with an old friend? Nope. I was reading the sports page in bed while drinking a delicious glass of chocolate milk when suddenly it occurred to me: all of this worrying is a big waste of time. In terms of my career, I simply need to buckle down and get serious about writing more often. No mystery there. And in terms of my love life, the right girl will come along eventually. Until then, I might as well relax and enjoy the ride, bumps and all. As Erin pointed out, we&amp;amp;#8217;re all probably gonna be married for decades so why not savor the single years? Right? Right! Are you a worrier? Have you had a moment of truth lately? How do you keep things in perspective?
