Note to Self

We've reached the end

of this journey my friend.

And yet, with all this pressure,

how can things be much better?

-

Simple answers are simply

elusive and spindly.

They wave a big flag in the distance,

but disappear with no sign of existence.

-

We tread a path not many can see;

sometimes it costs a lot to be free.

But we trod on anyway,

and remind ourselves the value of play.

-

Above all else, take time to rest.

You're not yourself when you're over-stressed.

Breathe in, breathe out; draw in the light.

Take care of yourself, you'll be all right.

--------------------------------------

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read the Anxiety Arc! I really appreciate it and I hope you enjoyed.

I believe in the value of creating stories around scary realities we face in real life–not only to take away their power, but to make them easier to identify and address. Through stories, we can experience deep self-reflection, and make meaningful realizations. I hope you all have a wonderful week, and remember the importance of taking care of yourselves. That's a lesson I'm still learning, haha.
