The Enemy in my Head
An enemy that lives in my head. Saying I’m not good enough, asking me what’s wrong, why can’t you do anything right. A lot of times, it can become evil. Waking up is hard enough with the inner critic at times, but once I close my eyes, the inner critic becomes alive; it shows me all my fears and my memories visually, and sometimes I wonder if she is angry at me. I used to think everything I did was wrong, like I shouldn’t do or say this or that. She made me scared to speak, thinking the world was against me. Sometimes I feel like she was right, but looking back now, I didn’t cause the problem; I was minding my own business. People came to me and were just mean, and that made my inner voice louder.

Nostalgia For a Place I’ve Never Been. Top Story - September 2026.
“We are homesick most for the places we have never known.” ― Carson McCullers Every night before bed, I hop on Instagram and watch Reels. I know it isn’t the best habit before sleep, but these Reels make me happy, and that overrules ideas I’ve been conditioned to accept as truth about my sleep. I’ve also never been one to pass up a good, bad habit.
