Anxiety


Dear Diary...

How do I even begin to explain what anxiety feels like? On most days, it’s like a silent sea, calm on the surface but with chaos brewing underneath. Inside, it’s all battles and noise. Then there are those other days. The ones where it feels like my body’s alarm system is on overdrive, screaming at full blast for no reason I can see.

My heart starts pounding like it’s running a marathon I didn’t sign up for, and suddenly, I can’t breathe right. It’s like my body forgot how to do something as basic as breathing. My brain, decides this must mean danger, even though there’s nothing wrong. I look around, trying to find the threat, but there’s nothing. Nothing except this overwhelming feeling that something terrible is about to happen.

And yet, my body doesn’t seem to care that I’m actually safe. It’s exhausting, confusing, and terrifying all at once. All I want in those moments is a way out, a clear exit sign, anything to stop feeling this way.

“It’ll pass,” I tell myself. “This too shall pass.” And, thankfully, it always does. Every single time. That’s what keeps me grounded, knowing that no matter how overwhelming anxiety feels, it won’t last forever. Maybe overthinking actually helps in those moments because my brain eventually shifts to a new thought. I mean, at least I can’t fixate on one thing for too long, right?

It passes, and when it does, I remind myself that I’ve made it through before. I can make it through again.


With love,

It’s tough now, but I’ve been through it before, and I’ll get through it again (resilience) 💯.

Parenthood

 Dear Diary… If being a parent had a definition, it wouldn’t just be about giving birth or sharing DNA. A parent is someone who shows up. Someone who tries, even when they don’t have all the answers. Someone who keeps choosing you, even when life makes it hard. We grow up thinking our parents know everything, that they have life figured out. But the truth? They’re just people. People with their own childhood wounds, their own struggles, their own fears. And then, one day, they’re handed a newborn and expected to be perfect. No manual, no warning, just them, figuring it out as they go. Before they were Mum and Dad, they were just two people trying to balance love, life, and themselves. A woman learning how to be strong but soft, nurturing but independent. A man trying to unlearn the world’s ideas about masculinity while figuring out how to show up emotionally. Then suddenly, they have a tiny human looking up at them, expecting them to just know how to be parents. And then another co...

My growth entry. Day 1.

Dear Diary ... Unlike those pink, heart-shaped, padlocked diaries people hide under their floorboards, I’m starting one of my own. Do I really need this? Probably. Overthinking doesn’t leave much room for clarity, so maybe writing it all down will help. I could call it a blog, but let’s be honest—it’s more about me working through my thoughts than anything else. That’s okay, right? Here’s the plan: I’ll write about my thoughts, share personal stories, and create a safe space for anyone reading. I hope someone out there reads this and thinks, “I went through this too. I’m not a weirdo for feeling like this.” And maybe I’ll remind myself of that as well. I’ll share fun memories, not-so-fun ones, and all the random nonsense in between. Life doesn’t always have to be so serious, even when serious things are happening. Sometimes nonsense really does make the most sense. If this diary helps me untangle my thoughts and brings comfort to someone else, that’s enough. Writing feels like putting ...

January 23: Life as we know it

Dear Diary... Life really is unpredictably unpredictable, isn’t it? It doesn’t care who I am, where I’m coming from, or what I’m doing right now. It just keeps moving, like a river that doesn’t stop for anything. One moment, I could be talking to a stranger, and the next? They might turn out to be the soulmate I didn’t even know I was waiting for. But when things go wrong, like a breakup, a bad day, or, God forbid, losing someone I love, life slows to a crawl. Time drags, and I’m forced to sit with all the pain. I’ve tried ignoring it, drowning it out, or pretending it’s not there, but nope. Life doesn’t let me off the hook. It’s like it’s saying, “You’ll sit with this until you learn something. If you don’t, I’ll just keep bringing it back.” Honestly, it’s exhausting. And then there are the happy moments, the ones I should enjoy. But do I? Nope. My brain decides to overanalyze every single detail. Is this moment too good to be true? What if it doesn’t last? What if something goes wron...
