Free is Me, and Me is Free

Don't Let Anxiety Overcome You

Free is Me, and Me is Free

Tick, tock, on the clock

And yet another mental block?


Panic, worry, and endless fear

My mind is never truly here


Some cannot even fully see

What this monster is doing inside of me


Please stop talking, for that is what I need

Somehow you swayed me to follow your lead


When you came, I should have said no

It is far too late to think that though


What is it that you are seeking?

Will you ever stop from speaking?


I never will understand your goal

These secret whispers take such a toll


Why do you keep getting in my head?

Do you ever go to bed?


You feed off fright, but I say no more

When you leave, please close the door


Goodbye, my friend – is that even what you are?

I wish you well, but please go far


Letting you go.. I feel free, Am I even allowed to be?

It seems like I just lost a part of me


I am unsure of what is to come

Anxieties are building to quite a sum


I did not know how this would be

I needed to let go, and now I see


That Free is Me,

And Me is Free

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
