Making hell out of nothing at all

There was this story amongst million stories that my mom used to narrate while I was really really small. So there was this story about a rabbit which I used to hear from her. I dont know the whole narration but just write lines that probably is related to my life. It turns out that a rabbit is a very coy animal by nature. A very shy and easily scared thing. So when a leaf fell on its back, the animal thinks that all hell broke loose. It starts telling every animal it meets on the way that a thunderstorm is on its way! It gets overwhelmed and in due course puts all the other animals under great stress. I think I am like that rabbit now! Not scared or shy but easily overwhelmed. We all live in a stressful world but each one is equipped with a defense mechanism. I on the other hand revert into my shell. And the most funny part is, at the crack of dawn when I think back..it seems worthless to have fret over something! Like Sayesha's post sometime back where she mentions how she starts thinkin of that voicemail when she is in a Statistics class. Similarly, today when I was sitting in my statistics class, I got atleast 10 missed calls from my university. We get one common number (for privacy purposes), so was unable to tell who must have called. There was a voicemail too. I lost all my calm and kept thinking who must've called and why! Maybe I messed up in lab. Maybe my grant has been reviewed and I have been awarded the fellowship, maybe someone in my university found out about my blog! and all sorts of things that I dont want to narrate here. I just excused myself from the class to go listen to that voicemail and was relived that it was from a friend who needed a ride home:O While driving back, I was wondering why exactly do such things bother me?? Some times things dont deserve a second thought! still I drain my energy over those insignificant aspects in life. Things should probably not be so important that it makes you lose your balance in life! This rabbit needs to know that a leaf is a leaf. And its weight is not too much for it to handle!
