Anxiety and Snarling Vipers
To me, I think of my anxiety as a bunch of snarling vipers. Tongues out, spitting venom, ready to strike at any threat that comes my way.

Waves – Art a form of Self Expression.
“We humans are like waves, imperfect perfection. Rising and failing. Before returning from where we came. “ M L Wood I penned these words some time ago, as I was sitting on a beach watching the waves crash before me. The beauty and power of the ocean is both terrifying and majestic, akin I would […]
