(alternative title: Ode to Anxiety)

  1. I left the gas tank on empty

  2. I didn’t tell you something bad was happening because I was more worried about telling you than the thing itself.

  3. You’re not but I’m convinced you are

  4. I over explained something in a meeting because nobody was nodding and so I just kept saying words.

  5. I wanted to be firm without sounding like a dick. It didn’t work out.

  6. I quoted Brene Brown one too many times.

  7. I used words like ‘acquiesce’ and ‘perpetuity’ and you concluded that I’m an uppity bitch.

  8. You’re not.

  9. I donated that thing you haven’t used in years but now you’re trying to find it.

  10. I told you I hate being interrupted after I interrupted you twice.

  11. I’m really hungry and I’m making it your problem.

  12. You aren’t but I’m taking things personally anyway.

  13. I overshared. Again.

  14. I laughed too loudly at a joke.

  15. I cried at work. Again.

  16. I…I can’t think of anything else.

  17. You. Are. Not.
