At some point in life, angst and anxiety began to overrule everything in my life. That was when I was about 13 or 14 years old.
The tapping foot.
The shaking leg.
The nervous pacing. Chewing on pencils. Twisting my hair so firmly around my finger...and then pulling it out.
Overwhelmed by trying to please those around me; meet their expectations.
16 years later....I still do all those things that I have mentioned. Now, however, it is different. And adult with three children, ridiculed by my parents for an 'untidy' house, and having red and purple hair..For this, for that-
And this
is why I wonder:
"Will I Ever Be At Peace???"
