‘Are you frightened it will come back?’ Of course. Do I worry about it? No. Worrying is a holding on to, a tightening of the coils. I take action to avoid a relapse. That’s different from worrying about it. Worrying is inaction, a paralysis of fear. It is an agitation about a future that has not happened, and a past that cannot be changed. It can be understood, explained, even apologised for. But it cannot be changed.
