Memory Hit Me Like A Train - Tumblr Posts

Saw a post about battling dysfunction by pretending to be an alien, and I suddenly remembered how I broke myself of the “there’s something watching me” anxiety in middle school.

I pretended that there WAS something watching me, but instead of wanting to like eat me or something, they were my own little guardian creature that just wanted me safe. I pretended they were a giant invisible lizard creature who just hung on the wall and liked seeing what I was working on, no matter how embarrassed I was about it. Art that looks weird because I messed up the arm? They were glad I was finally finishing it. Fanfic that’ll be buried until the day I die? Well at least I’m improving my writing skills.

So... yeah. It worked!
