40
I shared this one before. Not mine, not even U2’s originally… Originally from a now nameless writer several thousand years ago. What language was it even written in? No matter.

Anxiety: Shape Shifter

Anxiety is a shape shifter; it comes in the darkness, finding its way to your demise. How can it optimize it’s …
