Sometimes, the most frightening creatures are just shadows of happy dancing trees. But before you realise that, you’ll freak out and run away while screaming out loud and maybe hurt yourself against a door, making it an even bigger drama this time. But if only you’d taken a second to look more carefully, you’d have noticed that it was just shadows – not a scary monster like in movies.
That’s precisely what we do sometimes with our problems. We make a mountain out of a molehill. Countless of sleepless nights. Living like zombies. Giving more room to Miss Anxiety and still avoiding facing the problem. Repressing it even more during weekends with wine and chocolate, up-tempo tunes, and more wine. Our imagination is worse than reality – most of the time. That’s one of the things that I learned during my time in Ghana. And once you realise all that, you’ll laugh. And the wine, chocolate, and up-tempo tunes will taste like heaven.
