As the goddess and I continue to move through episodes of anxiety, one thing is becoming increasingly noticeable; in and of itself, anxiety is ridiculous. Now, to be clear, anxiety is not ridiculous because of those non-empathetic types who sound like old people when they say how they "don’t understand what there is to be anxious about because it’s not like we’re living through medieval times," or whatever.

It’s easy to see what inspires a person, but it’s much more challenging to understand why and how a person is inspired by such things.
