Stop caring so much

The hardest part about my life is that I cannot let go of anything. I literally let myself feel every emotion, every thought, every word. I take everything so literally and hold onto it for dear life. In the bad ways I can't let things be. I have to get enraged and bitter until I realize it is not the end of the world. I feel like I need to be more like my dad, relaxed and non-chalant about issues that arise. I don't know if that comes from within myself the fact that I can't turn it off, the fact that I feel everything. That I am sensitive and I let every thought become something more than it is. I can't get away from the feelings that get me going. To be honest, it is like I cannot escape myself, I cannot escape my own head and my own feelings. Sometimes you have to realize that you can't change everything. You can't just expect things to go your way and you have to work with that. It also helps if you let things fall as they are and not try everything in your possible power to make them fall differently. I need to stop caring so much. Not to the extent of losing my control and emotions, but to a point that I can turn it off and on. I need to hold off on trying to change the things I can't, and let it be. I may not be able to get away from myself, but at least I could relax a bit more.
