I used to be very anxious and fearful which made me introverted and depressed. It kept me locked up in the hollow shell of myself. Back in July I went to my church's summer camp. I was always a Christian but i had been feeling empty. At this camp, I found myself again, not only who I am but how I needed to realize that Jesus loved me as well. Now I know not all of you believe in that sort of thing but this was a big deal for me. I felt more social, more happy, more outgoing and trying new things as I had never zip lined before that. I most likely never would have until this camp. I have so many people to thank for that experience. The point of this post is this, if you experience what I have also experienced, there Is hope. Maybe it won't be in the form of Jesus for you but you will find that joy, one day. The first song kinda tells how it felt for me. https://youtu.be/SDSfGh2u3Ik the second one tells how I feel now, liberated. That hollow shell has mass now and I want to share that with others. I hope you all have a great day. God bless Edit: while I still have bursts of anxiety, I can remember the joy I have gained from my experience and I'll never let that go and no one can take it from me.
