A wise person recently told me that you can’t argue if you don’t have two people.

Arguing is a choice.

I spent the past few years arguing because I was frustrated that the person I was with didn’t seem to care if I was happy, sad, worried, or stressed. I often regret that time wasted and more importantly I hate the person that it made me. It is an ugliness within all of us that arguing unmasks.

If someone doesn’t care no amount of arguing is going to resurrect something that doesn’t exist. It’s just going to make you into less of who you are.

Arguing is a choice.

Today I would love myself enough to walk away.
