To the Girl Who Hides Her Anxiety Behind a Smile

 

But then when riddled with anxiety, your head is merciless and unforgiving. It makes you your own worst enemy.

 

It short-circuits your senses with constant fears and false perceptions.

 

I can see how overwhelmed you get, and I see you trying so hard to get a hold of it.

 

And it can make you feel like you’ve become your anxiety.

 

But, no matter how crippling or scary it gets…

 

I want you to know anxiety does not have the power to define you.

 

Your heart will always do that.

 

While it may sometimes feel like a losing battle, your heart is so hopeful and so patient.
