My nemesis.

My nemesis is my anxiety. Ira Glass talked about deadlines, and to get through slumps, you have to continue writing in order to get through that slump. Procrastination fuels my anxiety. I put things off until the last minute. If I have something due in class on Monday, I'll do it Sunday night. I feel as if I work better under pressure. For me it works, but it is not for everybody. If I had to give a visual to my nemesis, it would be a little, sweaty creature because anxiety makes you anxious. Part of anxiety is nervousness. Being nervous makes you sweat. This creature is little because he is part of me everyday, but likes to come out at the most inconvenient times. Therefore, I know when he is there. He make his presence known. Ira Glass talked about growing as a writer, and reflecting on past pieces. At some point in my life, I would like to "outgrow" my anxiety- get it under better control.
I liked how Ira talked about how you have to deal with the crap in life to realize when you have something special. This really stuck with me and is very true in my life. In order to appreciate things, you have to go through the crappy parts. If there were no crappy parts, as humans, we would be numb. We wouldn't appreciate the special parts to its fullest. With this being said, if I didn't have my anxiety, I wouldnt be able to appreciate my life when my anxiety is on a lower level than usual.
