“Anxiety clouds everything you know to be true.”

How can something drain and fill me all at once.

The expectation of happiness can induce quite the opposite.

No one is given time to spend on what they love, they take it.

It’s not my responsibility to fit into who you think I am. That’s not how this works.

You believe in magic and so do I, because I believe in you.

Those who fight the hardest for change are the ones who most believe its possible.

You can’t be a part of the solution, if you refuse to acknowledge you are part of the problem.

Instead of asking yourself why you care so much, ask everyone else why they don’t.

You don’t need to reach the most people, you just need to reach the right people.

You don’t need to understand me to respect me.

Sometimes anger is the hardened hurt we never healed from.

Somedays you need to let go of the world and it’s expectations of you.

I started naming the reasons, until I realized; “I don’t want to” is the only one I need.

I am not a vessel – don’t tell me what to hold.

I wonder if the world I’m meant for just hasn’t been written yet.

I decided to make a choice. And there is beauty in that – decision.

Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master

Over and over again in my life, I find closeness to other people and proximity to other people really painful; that’s part of my mental illness, social anxiety.

I can’t imagine turning into one of those codgers who no longer reads fiction. I’m regularly stirred by it and suffer no anxiety of influence. Influence me! That was my credo then, as I was developing and learning, and remains so now, as I’m developing and learning.

You don’t experience anxiety unless you’re attached to a thought that isn’t true for you. It’s that simple.

Without anxiety and illness I would have been like a ship without a rudder.

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.

When object of our anxiety is God, then that brings ecstacy.

If you want to understand entrepreneurs, you have to study the psychology of the juvenile delinquent. They don’t have the same anxiety triggers that we have.
