On feeling okay.

My experience is that the things you need to learn the most take a while for you to see. My anxiety makes me want to control things and people. I’ve always wished things to be different and people to act differently so that I could get some relief. What I’m learning is that it’s up to me to give myself that relief. The way I’ve learned that is by not filling up my days trying to work towards some magical time where all my problems are solved and life is full of bliss every moment of every day. I have believed that such a place exists. It doesn’t. Life is mostly ordinary with blips of shit and blips of joy. And I think that the way you do life is to do what it takes to feel okay now, in the middle of all of it. #joy #healingjourney #anxiety
