All that Remains

"Breathe.
The worst won't happen. I don't get that lucky. I've always been a plain person. I've never broken a bone. I never learned how to swim properly. I never learned to ride a bike. I've never travelled anywhere outside three hours from my hometown. I've never had surgery or been in the hospital for anything. When I think the worst has arrived, it's just a subtle pain instead. The most adventurous thing I've done is lie about where I went my first year in college since I was still at home. The most dangerous thing I've done is a tie between almost slicing my thumb off not too long ago and almost drowning the summer before high school.
So, when my brain creates these worst-case scenarios, there's a comfort underneath knowing that it more than likely won't happen. The extraordinary just doesn't happen to me.
Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. To control the panic and anxiety settling in."
