Permanent Headlines

If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

There’s so many things my tagline could say. I’m sure a lot of people thought that at first. Honestly, this has taken me longer to come up with an answer than any other prompt so far.

For me, I believe my tagline would say something along the lines of “forever struggling to balance anxiety and peace.”

I spend my days constantly battling with my anxiety to stay hidden so I can have peace. But it slips up through the cracks every time. Sometimes, I can feel it coming. I feel as though I live in a constant bubble of overwhelming anxiety.

Honestly, it feels like there’s only one week a month where I don’t have built-up anxiety or hormones, making me stress or freak out or overwhelm me. One week. Where I feel like an actual person and not this thing I’ve become over the years from fear, anxiety, and stress. I fear those things are slowly turning me into a monster.

What I wish my tagline would say would be, “Here’s a lady who has it all!” Because I feel like I do have it all. Including some things that try to tear all that, plus me, down.
