Here’s what I wrote for day 1 of Carson’s writing challenge.

Forever? Or down in flames?

What first came to mind when seeing this was my struggle with anxiety. Like will I let it control me forever? or will I slowly get out of my comfort zone, build up the courage and watch anxiety go down in flames?

I recently joined a club for people with learning disabilities like me. I was so nervous at first but then once I started everything. It wasn’t so bad. Now ever since attending one event that they had. I feel so confident every time I think of going back. It got me thinking how I’m gonna stop letting anxiety be the boss of me all the time, and making me quit things I want to do. I’m gonna be the boss of it and do things out of my comfort zone no matter how big or small. You have to keep putting yourself in uncomfortable situations. The more you do it the easier it gets, and it won’t be uncomfortable anymore. It’ll become part of your comfort zone. I will not let my fear/anxiety consume me forever. Instead I’ll watch it burn in flames.
