Here's what anxiety never tells you
It has no interest in accuracy. It has no stake in being right. It just wants to be heard — louder than everything else, longer than necessary, more catastrophic than reality ever actually turns out to be.
It takes a maybe and turns it into a definitely. It takes a possibility and treats it like a certainty. It takes something that might happen and makes your body live through it a hundred times before it ever does — and usually it never does.
You're not preparing. You're not being smart or cautious or responsible.
You're paying an enormous tax on something that hasn't happened yet and probably won't.
Think about the energy.
The hours. The sleep. The joy you pushed away because something was looming. The conversations you weren't present for. The meals you didn't taste. The moments that were actually beautiful that you sat inside of while completely somewhere else — somewhere hypothetical, somewhere dark, somewhere that never even arrived.
That's not living. That's rehearsing a disaster that keeps getting cancelled. or never arrives
