Dear Anxiety,
You came out of nowhere & I'm surprised I allowed you to stick around this long....
I wanted to tell you face to face I was leaving but I knew you would try to stop me. The long night talks, the insomnia, the acne, loss of appetite/energy, the elevated blood pressure, headaches, overthinking, nervousness, tears and cycles of depressive baggage that you bring to the table no longer have a place here. See my heart is full of love, positivity, warmth, empathy, support and most importantly rest and you don’t like to hang out with any of them. But me, I like it here. It feels better, I smile more and I’m more in tune with my thoughts and actions. Collectively we don’t do well but when I rock solo it creates a different atmosphere for me and again, I like it here without you. I understand this may be hard for you to digest but I don’t have the capacity or patience to see you as you move out. Your bags are packed, they are sitting on the curb and by the time you read this email my hope is that the trash collector has scooped it up. See what I consumed when you or your baggage was near was starting to stink up my place and quite frankly, I’m too godly for that. I mean cleanliness is next to godliness, but you wouldn’t understand because I get it that’s not your jam. So, this letter is our break-up, it’s the last and only remnant of the situationship that we were once in. I can hear you now thinking oh, it’s a new year, we will run this back in a few months like we always do. My response to you is NOT THIS TIME. This is it; I know life with you, and I know life without you and it’s so much better…. Again, I like it here. I know you may linger cause you’ve never left easily but today it’s not really up to you as I’ve found the antidote to my power and the kryptonite to yours , the kind that will make you flee and never return , it’s courage , it’s exercise , it’s meditation , it’s journaling , it’s mind-mapping , it’s my belief system and prayer, it’s the self-love , it’s the patience and awareness , it’s the deep breaths and the fresh air and more for me. I’ve said all I have left to say, and this is my final farewell to a world I never desire to know again. Goodbye Anxiety, So long, Adios, Peace, I’m out!
Your No longer Anxious Companion,
<<<Insert Your Name >>>
We have to much life to live to allow anxiety to ruin our present and our future. Say Goodbye once and for all!
Love ya and there's nothing you can do about it!
