 have you ever considered
 that you are on the same team as your allies
 
 why are you making things difficult?
 are you worth the difficulty?
 I am
 But I work as hard as I can
 as long as I can
 "self care" deprecation
 "resting" lazy
 "relaxing" unmotivated
 none of these apply
 I'm *cooling down*

 Sometimes people convince themselves that they are a just and honest person,
 when they actually aren't.
 
 Usually how this works is that they live their life as normal, and when their
 desires conflict with another persons, they'll relent and agree with the other
 person *without voicing their concerns*.
 
 Then, when it's time for the other 50% of the time when they get what THEY
 want, they become stubborn and willful and resentful if they are contested.
 
 It's always a struggle. It's always a battle. Why can't we just all get along?
 
 Oh yeah, because some people don't tell you when they disagree.
 
 Liars.
