Warrior and Worrier

Some might call me a warrior, but I am also a worrier.  If something happens between me and someone else I perseverate, and then if communication isn't happening I start worrying the other person.  I feel everything so deeply and powerfully.  Unfortunately that also means I am easily hurt.  There is something I am begging to learn though; most people in the world have a protective layer over their heart. 

       I am 18 years old now; finally an adult.  I am not sure about being an adult, though.  I already knew life was brutal and exhausting, but now everything I didn't have to worry about as a minor… I have to worry about.  Most of my peers going into adulthood have to consider post-secondary education and money; I have to consider post-secondary education, money, Department of Rehab, Regional Center, SSI, IHSS, caregivers, service dog (I'm so EXCITED), wheelchair accessible van, etc.  

       I am a warrior so I can handle this, and I am a worrier so I will try NOT to perseverate on everything!
