Uncaged Wallflower - Extended Edition

by Jennae Cecelia

It’s hard to say yes when the voice of anxiety screams no. But this world offers too much to not explore out of fear. I’m still learning to live outside of my comfort zone. -shut up, anxiety

If you put a fraction of the love you give to everyone else into yourself, you would never doubt your purpose again. -you deserve your own love

You are never going to find your own voice while trying to match the pitch of everyone else’s. -be a rare composition

You are always the first to tell yourself that you aren’t beautiful, smart, or kind. You are always the first to beat up your mind. You take people’s complements and throw them to the ground with the thought that you can’t be any of those things. But you can, you are. Beauty, intelligence, and kindness run through your veins.

You Are Magnificent Take yourself to breakfast, treat yourself to freshly picked flowers. Go on a date with yourself and learn about just how magnificent you are.

Anxiety is the panic you feel when someone doesn’t answer your phone call after five tries. Are they okay? Did they lose their phone? Are they mad at me? Did someone take them? Are they sick? Anxiety is never rationalizing that they could have fallen asleep or walked away from their phone. Anxiety is worse case scenario.

Friend groups shrink as you grow. There is nothing wrong with that.
