I can’t even talk to you when I don’t have a point to prove.

You have to win an argument every time, and it’s exhausting. Most of your life, you’ve been trained to believe that everything you experience is either a win or a loss. Why can’t you ever just let things go? The ego is one hell of a distraction. That shit has kept you from experiencing and taking so much in. Just let it be.

When are you going to let things be the way, so they make you happy? You’ve been trying to adjust your happiness instead of changing your surroundings. You wouldn’t ever listen to me for that, though. You’d probably try and argue about why you’re not doing that instead. The truth is that I’m reasonably sure nobody knows you more than I do. You’d go so far to try and prove me wrong, it’s ridiculous.

What has proving a point ever gotten you? If it isn’t just a little ego boost? How often has that pushed away from the things you’ve always wanted? How often has that pushed out the best moments and made them temporary?

How much do you think it will cost you in the long run? Maybe it’s time to switch it up a little bit.

Pay attention. Look at all the clues around you. Life’s too short to be proving a point all the time.
