Photo by Hello I'm Nik on UnsplashI’ve always referred to myself as a Worry Wart. It’s something my mom used to say and a trait I inherited from her. She was always worrying about something and on edge about stuff all the time. Like, constantly. Of course I didn’t realize that till much later. Maybe even after she passed away a few years ago.
