Warning: Pseudo Rant to Follow!

I am finished with hearing loud personal conversations in the produce department at Whole Foods!

If it’s personal, I don’t want to hear it. It’s your intimate business.

If you are practicing being miserable, that’s why you’re so good at it!

If you’re conversation includes, “And then she said, and then I go…,” you are affirming your mundane existence by regurgitating your boring life.

You aren’t living your life. You are re-living your life!

I don’t care what your sister’s husband said to her. I don’t care if he is having an affair. I don’t care if she is having an affair. I even care if they are swingers.

And I especially don’t care if you are right and “they” are wrong.

If you are fixated on being right, then you need to make others wrong and you suffer from control issues. Taken down to the bone, the need for control is about feeling unsafe.

Look, I don’t know what happened to you when you were an child. I don’t even know what happened to me when I was a child. And I don’t want to know!
