Anxious
When I bumped into her I didn’t know I would make a friend that would be with me through thick and thin, but also a nag. When we grew I had phases of my life where I changed either drastically or subtly. She would stay the same, but more kept coming out which I didn’t know about her. Fears of hers kept showing more and more, but I was always there to quell them and tell her it would be all right.
When you see her, she looked like someone who wouldn’t be afraid of anything, but it’s quite the opposite. When I suggest things to do she usually doesn’t want to do them because she thinks that it’s either not for us or that people won’t like us and tell us to leave. In cases of decisions in my life I take, she pops in and tells me stuff may go wrong on the path I’m on, or maybe that it wasn’t right, when we follow with the things I suggest things turn out fine and we both start to enjoy ourselves. There are occasions that she turns out right in the end, then she admits that it was nice to try.
When I’m with her sometimes I feel sad, scared, worried about everything, but that happens when things in our lives go wrong or are uncertain. When things go right and everything is stable I feel safe with her, and when I’m not with her I make stupid decisions and things go very bad so I try to keep her around as much as possible.
I am a person who wants to try their best and I can only do that when she is around, because I know without her I wouldn’t care about anything that I do and wouldn’t make an effort. I don’t know if it’s to impress her or to show her up, but when she is around I go above and beyond and I thank her for that.
