Dear Diary,
It seems like ages since I last put my thoughts into writing. Life has been so hectic recently, I’ve struggled to find time to connect here.
Life has been strange and to say the least. As a loved one is ill, I’ve been carrying a great burden of concern. It absorbs practically all of my thoughts, leaving little room for other things.
How do you get through the day when your thoughts are continuously focused on the health of them?
Anxiety becomes an everyday friend, creating doubts and worries in every part of my thinking.
I‘m in a constant state of distress.
(anyway).
On a lighter note, I’ve been thinking about something lately, a strange question that tends to linger in the back of my mind.
Do men scare you?
It is strange to admit, yet they do.
When I receive a message from a man, I get a feeling of dread in my gut, as if I’m anticipating the worst. Sometimes I feel compelled to physically detach myself from my phone.
But why?
Why do I and many others, behave like this?
Trauma, I guess, plays an important role.
