Waves,

Send it in and move on.
These essays are not the entire application. The rest of the application counts for something.

The school wants to see if you are an appropriate student for them and your essays demonstrate that.

I do understand the the emotions and the over thinking that can be focused on this, but at some point we can let go of our work and send it off.

The application is only one step in this journey. After this, you will have other steps.
