又是該請人送桶裝瓦斯的日子，

卻沒來由的緊張起來。

 

問著自己，

是因為要請人送瓦斯嗎？

是因為花費嗎？

……

在腦袋裡思索焦慮的原因。

 

上網查詢當月桶裝瓦斯的預估費用。

 

見到預估金額出現的那兩秒，

內心動盪的小船突然平穩了。

 

原來是因為無法掌控現狀而不安。

It was time to order a gas cylinder again.

For some reason, I felt a little nervous.

 

I asked myself,

"Was it because I had to order the gas?"

"Was it because of the cost?"

...

I kept trying to figure out what was making me so anxious.

 

I went online to check the estimated price for this month.

 

The moment I saw the price,

the little boat inside me suddenly became calm.

 

I realized I was uneasy because things felt out of my control.
