Anxiety seems to be so scary. It seems it will last forever, but it will not. There will be times in your life when you hardly experience any anxiety at all, but there will also be times you struggle greatly with it. If you get to feeling anxious remember this WILL NOT last forever.

2. You still have control

If you let it, anxiety will take control of you, and it is so east to let it. But remember you are the one in control of your mind and your thoughts still. It DOES not and WILL not have control unless you let it.

3. What your anxiety tells you is a LIE

This thing makes up lies and puts false fears in your head that seem so real. But remember what I said above you still have control.

4. Your friends and family want to understand and help

I promise they want to understand. They want to walk through this with you. They want to help. I know if you live with this monster, you may not even understand it, but they want to just as badly as you do.

5. You are NORMAL

This monster can make you feel so many things. I promise you are still normal. There are so many people who experience anxiety in their life. Just because you have anxiety, does not make you a freak.

6. BREATHE

The most important thing, anxiety is known for taking this from you. JUST BREATHE. Everything will pass. The anxiety will pass. The problem will pass. Whatever you do, DO NOT FORGET TO BREATHE.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.

Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
