Let's think about this, she said
What you can and can't say
The weight you carry
Is extra
Unnecessary
Exponential and nonessential
You won't make it, she said
I don't believe you
Of course you don't, she said
Millions of cells dragged their sorry asses around the universe so
that we could be sitting here talking, just like this, on this very day
Are you saying life has meaning?
Not in the slightest, she said
Stop torturing yourself
Let it go
Can you let it go for me?
No, she said
I can tell you that some of the love you feel is real
Some of what you are feeling is delusional desires that is partly
genetic, partly hormonal, and part bullshit
That's all I can tell you
Do I pay for this?
Every day of your life, she said
Let it go
