Why I compromise

Those who can be disappointed will be disappointed.

Those who love me so much, they want to inject their desires into my time and my decisions are as undeserving of my love as those who do not love me at all.

I live for me,

not for those

who allege to

like that about me.

If you do not see

me for how

wonderful I am,

good riddance.

If you do not see

that I already do

what’s best for me,

good riddance.

And if you see

me, well, good

riddance all the same.

Make a list of the people you cannot live without.

Now get over it, because sooner or later, you will and you will be fine. You will be better. I don’t wish death upon anybody. I certainly don’t want to live without the people I cannot live without. But they are the people with the power to hold me back. Those for whom I may compromise. Those by whom I am compromised.

Question: Why compromise for someone I can live or learn to live without?

Answer: Love (obviously).

Love is

not good.

Love is

divine,

as in

god-like.

And god,

like love,

does not

only

create.

Like god,

love, too,

destroys.

And that’s

how I

know that

love is

sublime:

it heals

as much

as it

infects.

And that,

my love,

is the

only

reason

why I compromise.
