Trying to control

What is outside of

Your control

Will control you

Choosing a lover is a lot like choosing a therapist. We need to ask ourselves, is this someone who will be  honest with me, listen to criticism, admit making mistakes, and not promise the impossible?

"... realized suddenly that the only thing I can control is that I get what I want. And why shouldn't I? Really. Why shouldn't it be me who comes out on top?"

Never be so kind, you forget to be clever.

Never be so clever, you forget to be kind...

Never be so polite, you forget your power.

Never wield such power, you forget to be polite...

Taylor Swift, Marjorie

... Because you didn't come here and tell me how much you miss me. Or how hard it has been to live without me. You said you you didn't want to give up. And look, I don't want to to give up either. I don't want to fail at this. But that's not actually a great reason to stay together. We should have reasons why we don't want to give up. It shouldn't just be that we don't want to give up...
