You are courageous, intelligent, sweet, and a beautiful soul who happens to suffer from fear, apprehension and unbearable thoughts that sometimes these thoughts will come to visit to haunt and taunt you to the point of no return when you think that you have been through enough or even had enough, so please believe that you’re so much more than your anxiety.
Yes, more often than not, you have to come face to face with all the fears of your mind that it constructs and builds overtime to leave you thinking the worse and spits at your soul, but you fight back harder and tougher. You put on a brave smile and at the same time try to talk yourself out of the darkness in your mind by doing your best at being rational, after all, it’s your best weapon against irrational thoughts.
Sometimes you win others anxiety might consume you, but you know it’s only temporary and you never give up fighting for a quiet mind.
You know at your core that you’re resilient, so you put a smile on your face and you fight your anxiety back with all you’ve got because you know in your heart that your beauty supersedes the chaos in your mind.
