Anxious. Feeling insecure...ashamed of myself for feeling insecure....defensive. Stop, I tell my mind...stop. There's no reason to feel anxious. Stop, you'll ruin it by worrying about it being ruined, the ultimate irony. Leave that thought alone and just walk away from it already. Ugh....

And I think back...a couple of years back. Yeah. Look what letting anxiety run away with me did then. Lovely. Please, brain, stop. Stop tormenting me already.
