Let me tell you a secret —
\n\u200b
\nNot many know this about me. Not many know how detrimental this once was for me. No one knows how much this secret prevented me from experiencing<\/a> so much of what life had to offer or better yet, not many know how much my anxiety would spin out of control and my #worrywart ways (given to me by my beautiful grandmother) prevented me from seeing that worry was just that – worry. It did nothing for me. I thought that worrying helped me in seeing what could happen in the future.<\/p>\n

I remember laying in bed thinking of all the \u201cbad\u201d outcomes in my mind. I would run through the possibilities of shitty circumstances with an understanding (in my world) keyword \u201cmy world\u201d that covering various circumstances in my mind could intercept those same circumstances and thoughts from actually happening.<\/p>\n

\n

Let me clarify this. Before I get to the secret. Before I release the issue that once carried fear in me preventing me from going everywhere I wanted to go. Before I get to the secret that made me cry at night as I anticipated its happening. Before I get to the secret that literally made me have shakes and an overwhelming panic within my body because, well, I had no control over something AND somehow I believed having control would make a difference. Fear is nothing but not having control over the unknown.\u00a0\u200b<\/p>\n
