Today hasn't seemed to be the best of days for me. I've been tired all day and I have been moody as hell. I'm not sure why, but not one moment of the day went by that I didn't stop and think 'My gosh I could just go to bed and sleep for days'.
Enough complaining, anyway.
Okay.
I've picked up so many of my bad habits today, some I didn't know I even had. I pick (and bite) at my nails, I intentionally frown if I've been smiling too much, and I also sat for ages on the bus with my sleeve wedged in between my teeth where I sat chewing it. I know they're bad, it's a wonder I haven't gone mad with all the bad habits I have. The anxiety is worse, and a lot of girls (and boys) will know the panic of 'Oh God, did I switch my straighteners off?'.
You know, then you get home and everything is fine. Just like it's nothing.
My point is, we all have bad habits, and they aren't anything to be ashamed of and people should know that. Never be embarrassed if you have a habit, or you fidget or anything like that, because that is something you subconsciously do to comfort yourself. The more you try not to do it, the more aware you become of it and the more self-conscious you become while trying to avoid the way your body is naturally comforted. You are allowed to comfort yourself, let your mind flow, and let your body react the normal way it does to comfort you. Be you, and never be ashamed.
