Just Let Go. It's Your Life.

Coming from someone with anxiety and varied degrees of social phobias, I came across this wallpaper.  It really speaks to me.

Literally.

I hear voices telling me the message:

"Look at you.  You're young, and you're scared.  Why are you so scared?  Stop being paralyzed.  Stop swallowing your words.  Stop caring what other people think.  Wear what you want.  Say what you want.  Listen to the music you want to listen to.  Play it loud as fuck and dance to it.  Go out for a drive at midnight and forget you have school the next day.  Stop waiting for Friday.  Live now.  Do it now.  Take risks.  Tell secrets.  This life is yours.  When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?"

Sometimes I am literally scared to death to have to endure a social situation that I can't control.  Whether it's a party, or even Wal-Mart, I can become physically and mentally paralyzed, or feel like I'm having a panic attack.  But what does it matter what they think?  I think we all need to let go and live this life for ourselves, not for anyone else.  You can't take it with you, why not have a good time while you're here.
