Dear Anxiety,
Well, well, well, look who decided to make an appearance uninvited once again. How have you been? I must say, your absence hasn't gone unnoticed. In fact, it's been quite refreshing. Since our paths crossed, you've been a constant burden on my shoulders, weighing me down and making even the simplest tasks seem insurmountable.
You've managed to taint some of my most cherished memories with your unwelcome presence. You've always had a knack for stealing the spotlight and pushing my happiness to the sidelines. Selfishness seems to be your middle name. What should have been moments of joy and excitement quickly turned into bouts of fear and panic whenever you and your partner-in-crime, depression, decided to pay a visit. Together, you knew exactly how to sow seeds of doubt in my abilities and worth. You waged a war within me, stripping away any ounce of self-confidence and replacing it with a concoction of doubt and insecurity.
But here's the thing, since the two of you stopped showing up on a regular basis, I've transformed into a person I never even dared to imagine. And you know what? You would have laughed in my face and told me it was impossible. You said I would never succeed in college, that I could never learn to love myself, and that I had no purpose in this world. But guess what? I've proven you wrong.
There are only a handful of positive things that I would like to express to you. Despite my dislike for your presence, it allows me to truly value the moments when you're absent. When you depart, I am able to appreciate the small joys that I cannot experience when you're around. It empowers me to discover newfound strength and confidence within myself. Moreover, I want to express my gratitude towards you and your companion, depression, for the way you made me feel.
I speak about you extensively, to the extent that I have formed friendships and provided support to individuals who were also plagued by your unwelcome presence. Fortunately, I have a network of people and a support system who ensure my well-being whenever you decide to pay an unexpected visit. I extend my thanks to you for breaking me down and tearing me apart, as it compelled me to rebuild myself and transform into a resilient fighter.
Hopeful,
ME
P.S.
Sharing you pictures taken during my trip today. I guess I just need a breather. I just need this trip.
