Math lied

In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back. Charlie Brown

Wow, sounds like Charlie's talking to me, huh?

I remember in high school our algebra teacher would assign us certain problems to do at night. The odd numbered problems were easy to do...the answers to those were in the back, but the even numbered ones...oh I hated those. I'm not a math girl at all. I'm a writer. That's what I do. I don't do math. At all. So I learned to rely on those odd numbered math problems to get me through.

Where are my odd numbered life lessons? Where are the ones with answers in the back of the book?

There are so many variables in my life right now. So many questions. And no cheat sheet. No back of the book.

It's all up to me.

And part of me is okay with that. I love that I get to write my own story and forge my own path and make my life what I want it to be.

But the other part of me?

Yeah...scared to death.

What if I make a wrong decision? What if I take a wrong turn? What if I carry the two instead of dividing it...or whatever?

See...math ruined me.

Math made it okay to look at the back of the book.

Math taught me that sometimes, the answers are given to you.

Math lied.
