  5. Here is a promise, and a fact…. You will never, in your life, ever have to deal with anything more than the next minute. However much it feels like you are approaching an event – an exam, a conversation, a decision, a kiss – where if you screw it up, the entire future will burn in hell in front of you, and you will end, you are not. That will never happen. That is not what happens. The minutes always come one at a time, inside days that come one at a time – all orderly strung, like pearls on a necklace, suspended in a graceful line. You will never, ever have to deal with more than the next 60 seconds. Do the calm right thing that needs to be done in that minute. The work, or the breathing, or the smile. And if you can do a minute, you can do the next. Caitlin Moran
