This collection of personal essays explore different topics, from growing up as an only child, dealing with an anxiety disorder and confronting the self-narrative I’ve told myself and how it has held me back. As a thirty-something professional still trying to figure out who I am, I started writing reflection pieces to help me process my thoughts and feelings, as well as a way of exploring parts of myself I hadn't dare to confront before. It has been incredibly therapeutic for me, and although most of these are quite personal, I have come to such impactful realizations through the process that I wanted to share them with you. If you can get anything positive as a result, I will be honoured. At the very least, I hope you enjoy reading them. Essays include: *Growing Up Only *A Life On The Edge: My Journey With Anxiety *The Story I Tell Myself *(Not) Getting Things Done *How To Be A Storyteller *Self-Awareness, Self-Perceptions and Caring What Others Think
