I don’t mean the dude-across-the-room-is-about-to-come-over-and-say-“how you doin’?” kind of feeling.
I mean the childhood anxiety – the a-monster-is-in-my-closet-waiting-for-the-right-moment-to-jump-out-and-eat-me kind of feeling.
You know what I’m talking about.
And guess what?
You’re being stalked right now.
But the monster of adulthood that’s constantly around the corner, waiting for just the right time to wreck your hormones, give you heart disease, and make you chubby is not the boogie man of your childhood.
It’s a beast named Cortisol, and he’s one bad mamma jamma.
