Just maybe inject some clarity into your relationships with others.
If you want something to work out, explain what it is you want to happen, and what you’re willing to commit to make that happen.
If you just don’t have the spoons to make it work out, fucking say so, and go from there. Maybe it’ll free up a lot of cycles for everyone involved, or maybe you’ll elevate to a new plane and find a new way to exist together.
It doesn’t have to fit the mold, and it doesn’t have to keep up with the Joneses.
You know what’ll make the Joneses really fucking jealous? If you figure it out before they do.
