Ideations
She was expended. Fully. She wrote her final list of thoughts to people whose names she marked with both first and last so messages would not be mixed. She left these valedictions on her antique roll-top desk, neatly stacked beneath a worry stone her therapist had given her four years ago when they went their separate ways. She placed a USB full of photos, things that her friends and family might want access to, next to the letters beneath the anxious rock. She piled what she figured to be about a week’s worth of food and water in ten bowls around the house for her two cats. She hoped that someone would discover her and the cats well before the food was up. She had stolen a Walther PPK from her friend's closet earlier that morning, having not only known where he kept it, but also that she shouldn’t take the easier to access Glock 19 in his nightstand.

There's a Monster Living Inside of me Named Anxiety.
I’m sitting in my empty bedroom. Moving is a hard thing, a big step, especially when you’re moving out on your own. I didn’t think I’d be ready at 20 but it feels right at this point. The freedom involved with living alone is almost high-inducing. Never really experiencing true freedom my entire life, I was excited about this new step, this new thing I got to experience. The thing which everyone else gets to experience and now finally, my time has come.

The Monsters Inside Us
Everyone has a monster in their life. Some seem to tower over a feeble frame, feeding off your world while others prey in the shadows, thin and deformed as they dash away, glimpses in every mirror so brief you have to blink twice just to be sure your eyes had not mistaken what you had seen. They fall asleep sometimes, for days, weeks, months, growling and snarling restlessly until awakened by a sight or a sound. Or a touch. They wait in silence, waiting for your most private moment, when you're laid so bare and helpless that it's of immense delight with which they viciously force themselves upon you, knocking you flat on your ass over and over until you can’t tell your head from the ground, beating and kicking relentlessly as you struggle to stand until forced to lay down and accept it. Accept that it is all there is, all that there will be, and once it’s done it leaves you shattered all over again, bleeding and begging, giving you just enough time to heal so it can keep clawing at your hope and feed on your every downfall in its vindictive cycle.
