I have a plan for my happiness. It will involve semi-complete knowledge (so far as it is possible). I will learn everything I can know about my experiences and try to use that to not be afraid of what's about to happen.
That's usually the thing that ruins happenings. I'm worried that no one will want to talk to me about anything I think is interesting and I get snappy at things that don't meet some critical expectation. That's not a good way to talk to people.
Instead, I want to ignore the content in the moment and just enjoy the process. It's like "being in the moment" without the burden of having moments.
This gets messed up when others don't realize I'm not necessarily concerned with my content. I'm sure there's a way to balance this but I haven't figured it out yet.
So, yeah, I want to slay my expectations.

"I will learn everything I can...to not be afraid"
Steve, you can't just think your way out of things. You have to flail around blindly, take someone's eye out, pay the insurance bill (like a gentleman), and write a blog about it. Thinking just will not do here.
And I don't wanna hear about how you "do flail around blindly and that doesn't work"
Of course it doesn't work. It's a bad idea and you'll end up sadder than before. But it's better than learning everything about your experiences. Hey look, I'm steve, I'm learning everything, you just wait, wait and see how happy I'm gonna be!
Oh well, there could be worse things. While you're learning things, figure out what the candidates are writing on those notepads during debates. Ha, I just spelled it debats, I like that.
You just wait and see!
