Anxiety is a desire for what one dreads, a sympathetic antipathy. Anxiety is an alien power which lays hold of the individual, and yet one cannot tear oneself away, nor has a will to do so; for one fears, but what one fears one desires.

Søren Kierkegaard in The Concept of Anxiety

Song: “It’s Only Fear” by Alexi Murdoch

When I was young, there were very few elders willing to talk about their darkness; most of them pretended that success was all they had ever known … I thought I had developed a unique and terminal case of failure. I did not realize I had merely embarked on a journey toward joining the human race.

My bucket list at 6 years old: :: Wear green leopard skin sleeves and a paint palette hat. :: Own a very tall red car. :: Don’t bother driving when I can levitate. :: Smile, even when there’s only a thin strip of blue sky.
