Relax.
Realizing most of my emotional problems are from not receiving most things exactly how I wanted them to be/go. As long as I take care of my needs, I'll have breathing time for my ego later on. But honestly, my ego causes more problems than keeping one is worth. It's basically a cognitive, conscious, self functioning being who absolutely does not give a solitary, empathetic fuck towards anything unrelated directly/indirectly to itself. Ego, it's my most worthy adversary, one I'll fight hardily with honor upon my ancestors to the death I have no will or will recognize it's arrival, and only win the battles I chose are worth not losing. If you ever ask if I have something to prove, I'll say yes to every time I'm asked. This is the exhausting, near endless endeavor worth proving the same point repeatedly to the same person, and that is saying to myself, "I am worth all I need, not just to all which needs me."
