Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ/notes and explain what they mean to you.
ladyxmoonlight gave me mine.
Art: is... pretty much my whole life. it's what I spend the most time doing. whether it's iconing, wallpapers or banners. it gives me a lot of joy and I love that I can express myself in such a way. I admit to being... uncertain, at times. About my work. so I'll get a second opinion about 80% of the time before I actually post any of my work online.
Kids I love kids. I always have. I can't imagine myself actually having any though. But I love to be around them and taking care of my nieces. This fall? will be weird. because Felicity will be in school, so it'll just be me and Trinity. and then after that, no one. It's going to be hard not seeing their little faces all of the time.
X-Files ahh, yay. my very first online fandom. the one that introduced me to some amazing people 10 years ago. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
Poetry I love to write and read poetry. I haven't written anything in ages though. My muse seems to have taken off on me.
Anxiety oh, where to begin. I've been living with anxiety attacks since I was in High School. At that time, they were not so bad. Just a once in awhile thing that happened usually before a huge event I had to partake in. Choir concerts, first day of school, etc. Stuff like that. My attacks increasingly got worse and worse as the years went on. To this day I'm not sure why. Imagine feeling like your whole world is crashing down around you everytime you went to step out the front door. Even just to walk down to the mailbox. Or having to hide out in your room everytime someone came to visit, family included. There was a time when I couldn't even talk on the phone to anyone other than my mom without having an anxiety attack. I've been on a number of different medications, and have finally found one that works for me. One that makes me feel like a semi-normal person. I'm able to leave the house now, go shopping, and go house sit for Candle at a moments notice thanks to my new meds. I still have to have my mom take me though. I'm not at the point where I can go places with other people. and I'm not at the point where I can take in a movie at the theaters. I haven't set foot in a movie theater in 10 years. There are still times when I feel a little unsteady and must take a breather, but it's not like it used to be. I'd love to get back to the way I was when I was in middle school. Hanging out with friends, going to the movies, a park, just anything. I don't know that I'll ever get there. I take my meds twice a day and I will be on them for the rest of my life. and to answer your question about how I
feel about it? It's like being a prisoner in your own home. Caged, trapped, locked in. When you try to get out from under it, something invisible is holding you down. Unescapable.
