From a distance, a butterfly is beautiful and intriguing to look at.
But up close, one can see the visage of a creature that can probably defend itself and cast doubt into the mind of a potential predator.
I live life up close, not from a distance. I learned this the hard way, though, I would not accept that time moves along whether or not I want to move with it.
Anxiety and depression are much like this to me; they move along, come along, and can interfere with my level of emotional comfort, and there isn't anything I can do to change this. even if I'm not impacted ith the issues, (and unfortunately, I am!) I can live a strong and purposeful life.
My biggest hurdle at times? Getting over the lies these conditions keep telling me about myself.
That's why I'm here and elsewhere: because I need help with this! Not looking so much for advice as I am an affirmation that I'm not the "lone ranger" of suffering this way.
Thank you, in advance for being out here, for people like me.
That butterfly is beautiful, even close up!
