Anxiety is beautiful because it’s just you wanting things to go right so badly. It is really just you caring so much that it’s debilitating. Anxiety shows up because you want the most out of every single day and you worry that isn’t going to happen.
Being an anxious person is being so thoughtful it makes you sick. It’s fearing the worst because you want the best. It’s sweating the small stuff because everything matters to you deeply. Do you know how special it is to care as much as you do?
Anxiety is beautiful, but it is exhausting. It’s like playing tug of war constantly with what’s in your control and what isn’t. And even on the days that you let go of the rope your hands are still burning. It’s losing sleep over your health because you love life so much and you want it to go on as long as possible
It’s worrying about other people because you love them so much you want them to be as happy as they possibly can. It’s knowing how deeply you want things to work out so you try to eliminate every way that they could possibly not work out. And I know you are tired of caring this much.
I know it’s hard to see the beauty in a storm when it won’t let up. And it’s ruining things and keeping you inside and it’s dark and it’s beyond your control. But in the same way that is has to rain sometimes you have to feel.
There’s nothing wrong with you. You just want everything to work out so badly. That’s what your anxiety really is and there is beauty in that.
I’m sure of it.
