It Will All Work Out: The Freedom of Letting Go

by Kevin Hart

The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder. —Saint Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

if you don’t have your shit together, it’s that very lack of togetherness that becomes your sentence to pain and suffering.

Because when you have to sit with the consequences of your actions, and you really don’t want to live with them, you almost have no choice but to gain a new perspective and become a different person.

But no matter what form your Control Monster ends up taking, they all serve the exact same purpose: to manage anxiety, and make sure you’re safe and successful.

Any form of control is really just protection. And you get protective because you’re afraid. And you’re afraid because you don’t trust.
