Dear Aida,

Worry is one of the mind’s oldest habits.
It convinces you that the thing in front of you — the fear, the mistake, the uncertainty — is enormous, immediate, and absolute.

When you are inside a worry, it feels like the entire horizon.
Your mind shrinks around it.
Your heart tightens beneath it.
Your perspective narrows until all you can see is the problem.

But worry without context becomes distortion.
And distortion steals your peace.

Putting your concerns in context is not dismissing them.
It is placing them in the larger frame where truth becomes clearer —
and fear becomes proportionate.
