The Next Chapter

So a lot has happened since I was last able to write. My last few posts were focused on my anxiety about my future. I didn't know where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. Don't get me wrong. The unknown still scares the daylights out of me. However, I'm grateful to …

Career Anxiety

Redefining Friendship

Over the past few weeks, I started thinking about the things that have changed for me since my anxiety began to take over my life. A lot of things changed in my feelings and thoughts of course. But I never really thought about senses. Since I have been wearing glasses since I was pretty young, …

I Love My Ordinary

One of the things I hear from people my age is how good change is. Be spontaneous and try something new. Every day should be different. Everything about the age I have grown up in says go and live life, do something different and take risks in life. However, living with anxiety for the first …
