Me: Why do I STILL run into people who intentionally make me feel bad?

My Friend: Why do you let what people say affect you so much?

Me: I don't know... maybe I'm worried about choices I've made in my life. Maybe I should have done something else? Taken a different path? Maybe I made a mistake?

My Friend: Are you happy where you are now?

Me: I am! I guess ..

My Friend : Then maybe you can start seeing that you are exactly where you need to be right now? (and no offense taken)

Me: Maybe. But why does it still hurt sometimes?

My friend: Does it hurt a little less than last time?

Me: Yeah, a little, I guess.

My Friend: See, so time does heal.

Me: I hate when you say that. And can you please get rid of this

My Friend: Maybe you could have thought about that when you were doing it in the first place

Me: Please no lectures right now. I need to go back to sleep. Thanks for the spoon.

My Friend: Anytime.
