Anxiety Folk

I am Anxiety. I am the scout of your future.

Don't push me away, or my whisper will become a roar. I will trap you in a future that hasn't happened yet. I will force you to live in a thousand different what-ifs.

Hold me. Let my buzzing settle in your palm. I am not here to scare you, but to prepare you. I will show you the path so you can walk it with care, not chaos.

The Inside Matters

Anxiety's skin is the color of a warning sign, a humming yellow. Its hair is a messy twirl, like a thought that won't stop spinning.

Inside, a whole calendula flower rests at heart. Its golden petals offer warmth and comfort, a dose of inner sunshine to soothe the storm of worry.

Anxiety is also filled with light yellow wool, a soft core that holds that gentle, inner light.

And at the center, five amethyst stones offer their cool weight, an anchor to pull your spinning thoughts back down to earth.

Anxiety carries the scent of cedarwood, patchouli, and fir needle. Cedarwood stands firm, reminding you of rootedness. Patchouli brings you down from the clouds into the body. Fir needle cuts through the clutter, sharp and clear, like a deep breath in the forest.

And yes, Anxiety has a cute bum. Because something needs to clench.
