The self-imposed scaffolding and props of unreasonable expectation has been holding up my whole emotional structure, but ironically, every time my mind begins to question the health of relying on external structures, I am terrified. What happens if I take them away; take away the covering, take away the expectation, the pressure to conform, the pressure to 'succeed'? What am I left with? Myself - and do you know, I am ok! I am naked, but I am ok.
