My anxiety is a heap of laundry on the floor still trying to dry.

It just stacks and stacks until it

all

tumbles

down.

[campbell-words]

Over the years I’ve learned to wind up my mouth

like a jack-in-the-box,

plaster a smile on it and

piece together my broken heart with a padlock.

“being an anxious person means trying to be in control all the time. unfortunately, we can’t control every single thing that happens in our lives and that drive us mad. there is, though, something we can control and it’s our reaction to a bad situation and how we try to make the best of it. remember, it won’t get better unless you make it better.”

Although it can be difficult and painful, sometimes it is necessary to lock people out or let them visit only occasionally.

Random late night confessions

I read your status on Facebook. I always like to see how you are doing to add a little torture to my life (as if my mind doesn’t torture me enough). I saw your status about how your company will pay a trip for you to go to China to teach English for a week and I smirk. How easy life is for you. You get any boy you want with just a little cute giggle and now you get a paid trip to my favorite continent just by doing some video tutoring from home. I worked my ass off for five years to get the chance to live in Japan and teach English but wasn’t accepted. Life is so good for you despite all the pain you brought to mine. I try to shrug it off, I try to be mature and not care. I try to think well wishes, “Good for you.” I really do. But if I’m to be honest, it still hurts. I still compare myself to you. I thought cutting you out of my life would be a fresh of breath air and for the most part it has, but every so often your presence knocks the air out of my lungs. I just remind myself that life will come around for me, too. It has so far in the last few months and I believe it will again. It may not come around in the way I’m expecting but it sure as hell will come around in the best way it’s meant to. I will squeeze the hell out of the lemons life hands me until it has no choice but to give me fucking lemonade. And that thought is what reminds me to continue to scroll because your life is no longer a part of mine and my life is no longer a part of yours and thank God for that.

I'm not one of those girls with a fiery flame that burns all the time; the ones that could burn you alive with just one glance. I've learned that I'm the type that burns slowly and simply and quietly, offering a warm and soothing home; the kind that can warm your entire body up after a cold, tiring winter's day at work. ~but given the chance I could ignite the whole damn world on fire
