Welcome to another dramatic retelling of events by yours truly.

Sunday night I went to bed like I normally do and I got my Spotify open, picked my playlist and then set the timer so it would play and shut off once I’m for sure asleep.

Cool. For like not even 20 seconds.

The music stopped and I had to reopen Spotify completely. *insert a shook up Summer*

This happened a few times. What happened? No idea, but I had to fall asleep without music. This took me a while because this was the final straw.

For about a week, my Apple Watch wasn’t updating and my Spotify app wasn’t working – wouldn’t show my music playing and wouldn’t even open up to do so. Super inconvenient for me after getting used to it. I tried everything to get it fixed. Nothing was working.

Then this happened!!

So I stayed up Sunday night preparing my phone and myself for what was to come. It was time after 7 years… to upgrade my phone. It served me well. So well. I’m blessed to have had no issues for so long.

I had contemplated for the last year upgrading the phone but it’s so… scary. Change. What if I somehow lose everything? Particularly those last voicemails from my Dad. Those are so precious to me, ya know?

It was, as I said, so hard to go to sleep – I don’t know if it was just the thinking about the need to upgrade so I can live my music filled life, or the lack of said music lulling me to sleep. When I finally did, it wasn’t good sleep and I woke up horribly – achy and not fun.

I prepared myself all day. I’ll be okay. It’s just a phone. Nevermind that like my whole life is on it or anything like most of America I’d guess.

It came time to go to the store and get it over with. I was met with good news that everything on my phone would transfer and I’d keep my old one anyway so if I somehow didn’t get something transferred, I’d still have the original. What a peace of mind!

Once I sat there and got it all set up, the nervous energy turned into excitement. Like I love this new phone. I’m having a lot of fun getting used to it and probably literally no one cares about a new phone like I do, but hey… it’s the little things in life. 🙂

When I posted about few weeks ago about being anxious for nothing? Thats exactly how it is most of the time in my life and this was no exception. I was anxious for no reason because it all turned out okay. Yeah, I had to get alllll new cords for this phone, but the phone itself is great and will serve me even better than the last one.

There’s been a few times even since that post that I’ve been anxious and then what I was anxious for was literally fine. Everything went great!

So if you’re anything like me with emotions up and down, anxious for something to come, this is your memo to let go and … don’t be so anxious. It’s going to work out okay.

God’s got you! 🙏🏻

Blessings, friends.
