Because you’ve built your identity around struggle. Peace feels like a void, you don’t know who you are without the chaos.
Because anxiety isn’t a thought problem. It’s an addiction to control. You use thinking as a drug to avoid feeling.
Then stop waiting to live until it does. Freedom isn’t the absence of anxiety, it’s acting even when it screams.
