Sometimes…

Sometimes getting what you want sucks.
Sometimes knowing that you’re right sucks.
Sometimes doing the right thing sucks.

That’s how I’m feeling today.

So how do you make it right?

You tell the people you love, that have given you what you want, that they have a choice. You make sure they’re not giving up the things they want in life for you just because they feel like they should. You make sure that they’re doing what they want to do.

You let yourself acknowledge you’re right and then immediately admit somewhere you must have been wrong. Because admitting you’re right to the grave won’t get you anywhere. Literally. And then you do what you have to do to make it right.

You do what you should do, even though it sucks, because in the long run it’ll make things better. And it’ll make things better for the people that you love. Because it’s all water over the dam anyway. In the end it won’t matter what was done to you. All that will matter is what you chose to do.

Annnd that’s all I’ve got. Let’s see how it all works out.

I should be paying myself for therapy.

ps. I can never remember if the saying is water over the dam or under the bridge.
Feel free to correct me.
