Anxiety
My advice to anyone who's struggling...
You want advice. Fine. I'll give you advice:
Life sucks 99.9% of the time.
People will always wanna knock you down. People will always wanna spit in your face. People will always wanna tell you what your worth.
But there's a secret:
They say these things because they are scared. They are scared of you. Of what you'll accomplish. Because when push comes to shove they are the ones that fell flat.
See, you can't fix the hand that life dealt you. No matter what, your scars are apart of you. The Good. The Bad. All of it and that's not just some cliché, its truth. The past is the past and its time to stop living in it. Time to move on. Time to dig those skeletons out of your closet and let them rest instead of becoming ghosts. The moment you do that, you'll find it. You'll be able to take that breath a bit easier. That step will feel a bit lighter. The weight you carry will seem less like a burden. Until slowly but surely... It's Gone.
I said life sucks 99.9% of the time... but that's not the part that matters. Its the .1% that's the most important. That .1% is the part of life that is do or die. That you're at your happiest. That you finally feel FREE in. The only thing YOU can do is face the music.
And sometimes...
That's the bravest thing you can do.

I've been writing stories since the 6th grade so this is mostly things that didn't make final drafts or just the thoughts that find their way into my head and onto my notes app.
So grab a warm drink, a comfy blanket, and stay awhile! :)
