What I Know Now


One thing that bothered me as a kid

was how much the other kids bothered me.

It wasn't exactly what they did

but what I thought they did exactly.

 

My anxiety would build up day by day

I always thought "Wow, I wonder how they feel about me doing this".

Or "Wow, how embarassing was that".

And day by day, such anxiuos thoughts would grow denser

 

Then I grew up a little

And what I found out was huge

NO ONE CARES

That is what I tried so hard to learn 

Yet it clicked when I was trying least

 

Learning that no one really cares really boosted my confidence

It helped my mental glow up and helped me grow
