Description:
Jace x Anxiety “Oh God. I didn’t hear my alarm clock go off!” … “Am I late?” … “I can NOT be late!!” …
”OMG, it’s so hot suddenly!!”….”Okay, I need to calm down!”, I closed my eyes and sank down with my back to the wall and remembered the affirmations my great aunt taught me. I began to say them aloud, “I Can Only Do So Much”, “It’s Okay To Cut Myself Some Slack”, “I Am At Peace”, “I Have Calm”, “I Do Not Need To Worry”, “I Am Allowed To Be Happy And To Feel Good About Myself”, “Not Everyone Has To Like Me”, “I Am Fine Just The Way I Am”, “I Can Take Life At My Own Pace, I Don’t Have To Rush”, “My Mistakes Don’t Define Me, Everyone Makes Mistakes”, “I Am In Charge Of How I Feel And I Feel To Choose Happiness!”, “I AM ENOUGH!”
Soon, peace and calm returned to me with a warm embrace. And get this, I eventually went to check my phone just to find out that it’s actually Saturday morning…” – Jace
