Interview with Self
I am in a mood. In a funk. I've lost myself and am tired of leading the search party. I want to give up, accept the situation as it is. But that's considered unhealthy. We always have to strive to be a better self! With that b.s. in mind, I asked my self about this belief and here is how the conversation went:
Me: Hello, Self. How are you today?
Self: Fuck off.
Me: Niiiice. Umm. I'm going to ask you a few questions about being better.
Self: Fuck off. What's so great about being better?
Me: Exactly! Right? Why can't we just be who we are? What's so bad about that? Why do we have to feel bad about being content with ourselves?
Self: Fuck off. Leave me alone. Shouldn't be too hard for you.
Me: What? WTF, MFer? What's that supposed to mean?
Self: Fuck off! You idiotic Pringle-Not-the-Original-Kind-Cuz-Those-Are-Good-But-the-Nasty-Pizza-Flavored-Ones. You leave me alone, I leave you alone. It's how it works. You gotta put in the time if you don't want me to do the crime.
Me: Uhhh, I don't think that's how it goes, but whatever. Are you saying that if I ignore my self, then my self ignores me? Why do I have to do all the work in this relationship??!! You fuck off!!
Self: Fuck off.
And then my self left. Fizzled away in the cloud colored, airy fingers of a smoker's cough. *SIGH* I do understand what it said, but I'm not ready to put the effort in to remedy my situation. I want my self to suffer a little more, I think.
