I am anxiety. I didn't come to ruin your life, I came to warn you. I am that tightness in your chest when you keep saying "yes" when you mean "no." I am the lump in your throat when you keep quiet about what you feel. I am the insomnia that appears when the noise finally dies down and you can no longer run from yourself. I am not your enemy. I am the pent-up scream of everything you've silently endured for years. I am the fear you never embraced. The boundary you never set. The sadness you disguised as strength. ll #ansia
