I was on my way to dinner with my parents and my boyfriend. I knew I’d only need 15 minutes. They needed 25. Right after finishing my class, I called them— They hadn’t even left yet. Immediately, my mind started racing: They’ll be late again! I’ll have to sit there alone, needing to wait for them... But then I caught myself. I was thinking about the future.
