You know, I am really not very good at this “embracing change” shit. <\/p>\n
And this is the first time you’ve noticed it?<\/p>\n
No. I have known it for quite a while now. <\/p>\n
And?<\/p>\n
And…I do try not to freak out about it. <\/p>\n
Try?<\/p>\n
Shut up. Yes. Try. <\/p>\n
And?<\/p>\n
Are you a psychoanalyst or something? Can you say something other than “and?”<\/p>\n
Yes. <\/p>\n
Ass. <\/p>\n
What is it that is so hard about change?<\/p>\n
Not all change. Just some things. <\/p>\n
Like what?<\/p>\n
Like my friends moving away. I am not a fan. At all. <\/p>\n
No. But is it good for them?<\/p>\n
I don’t know. It could be. <\/p>\n
Is your concern mostly about how it will impact you?<\/p>\n
Of course! Everyone knows I am selfish at heart. <\/p>\n
You aren’t as selfish as you think you are. <\/p>\n
No?<\/p>\n
No. <\/p>\n
Thanks. <\/p>\n
You’re welcome. <\/p>\n
It’s just really hard to keep up with it all. It’s not that I am unhappy with my life at all. I am very happy right now, so when things change I worry about it upsetting that balance. <\/p>\n
But things always change. <\/p>\n
I know. But it is hard. <\/p>\n
Yeah. Sometimes. <\/p>\n
No one minds a change that involves an increased level of happiness. <\/p>\n
No. I am sorry that your friends moved. <\/p>\n
Me too. I know that everything else is great. <\/p>\n
You do have a pretty sweet life. <\/p>\n
I really do. Most changes really do work out. Things always seem to get better. <\/p>\n
Do they?<\/p>\n
They do. <\/p>\n
So what are you worried about?<\/p>\n
The interim. <\/p>\n
What?<\/p>\n
The transition between the good things is hard sometimes. <\/p>\n
So, you are worried about a transitory period of slight discomfort I between great things happening?<\/p>\n
Yes. Yes I am. Also, you suck. <\/p>\n
I love you, too. <\/p>\n
Good night, you…<\/p>\n
Sleep tight. <\/p>\n
