A Spoken Word Poem In Response To My Anxiety

I thought I'd put this little video together for you guys in order to describe what it's like to have anxiety and then how I fully overcame it through creating and using the anxious energy for something good. I think it's so so important for others to understand that anxiety is not something we can control, but getting help for it, is. I realized through the help of a lot of therapy and some medication that in order to cope and live I needed to move my anxiety through different things and cope with it--not against it. I had to stop fighting it and start to work with it in order to sustain myself, and eventually my happiness and freedom.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
