Overwhelming feeling of having had a narrow escape

Post by neufena »

Does anyone else ever get the overwhelming feeling of having had a really narrow escape? Like the got away with it this time and not to be so reckless in the future?

Specifically, right now I did several really stupid things at the weekend and (so far) there's been no consequences but I can't help feeling I've been really lucky. I was working at a festival and I did the following:

Wore shorts (I never do that, my legs are really ugly, not muscly enough for a man, snow white and covered in unsightly moles. People don't need to see that
Got a 'glitter beard' which people seemed to like on the whole but attracted lots of attention and I could easily have attracted pis taking comments or got me in trouble with work
Forgot to hand back a key and took it home with me (3 hours drive away from the festival).

Now I feel really on edge and just want to cry.

It may not seem like it to you now, but you are worthy of joy and release. You didn't do anything wrong. You deserve peace and the chance to cut loose.
