What You Can Control

You have to do what is right for you. And that means making hard decisions. Supposing you got somebody in your life who doesn’t mean to make you feel bad, but they sure as shit do. They make you feel bad for the way you exist, for the way you raise your kids, for the way you keep your house, for the way you relate to the world. If you can control it, you can’t have them in your life. I have somebody like that in my life, and I don’t think there’s any getting around it in my life. But I’m done trying to make it different, and I’m done trying to pretend that isn’t how they make me feel. Maybe I make them feel great, maybe I’m neutral, but they make feel terrible. So remove your actual feelings from the equation as much as possible.
