happiest new year ever (or, what are you afraid of)

... not sure where I am going with the title of this post. I'm trying to not over-edit or over-think how I write. Something that I was thinking about earlier: naming my fears. I live with a kind of low-level but fairly constant amount of anxiety. I worry. It's what I do. I think it's just enemy awareness, not letting your guard down, ready for a predator to swoop down at any moment. Fight or flight? Fight! And yet, the anxiety is there. What worries you so? Fear of... failing, forgetting, hurting, slighting, embarrassment, mistakes, coming up short.
A long day. A full day. Time for sleep...
