Stress...

stress: (n) a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.

Dear Stress,

You do not control me. Our relationship has gotten to be a little too close for comfort. How is it that you are so capable of sneaking up on me? How can it be that I have spent a good 3 months of practicing a stress-free lifestyle, only to be bombarded so quickly with your chest-tightening ways. I am determined to defeat you. You will not rule my life. I will get ample sleep as to recognize when you are trying to mess with me. I will eat properly and exercise so that you will have no chance of taking advantage of me at my weakest. I have control. You do not.

You do not. You do not. You do not!!!!
