Yo, what’s going on? Why are you all quiet and ish..

Its funny you should ask, because you’re the one acting all weird and distant.

What? What do you mean I am being aloof. You’re the one sitting alone, not talking to anyone, having a long face and giving a hissy fit.

Yeah, I know. Am just feeling a little low. That’s all.

But why?

I don’t know, yaar.

Hm, is it something I did. I have a tendency to wander off and dig up dirt from our past. Then I keep replaying it, you know me right…

Am not sure, man. Am just not happy with myself.

Whaaat? are you kidding me? You have no reason to feel bad, ok!

You are working every day, doing your part and not hurting anyone.

We can say that you even help around a bit.

Can you do better? Yes, you could do better, but you’re trying and that’s everything.

Don’t beat yourself up.

I don’t know man, its just taxing you know, this adulting.

So many things to juggle. You think you’re doing enough, but is it really enough?

I don’t know, man. This is getting deep. I mean, I am not losing per se.

So what! That doesn’t mean am winning either. Am I?

Ugh!! Guess am just anxious. Overthinking as usual. Stupid me.

It’s good to keep a tab on your thoughts, weigh out your feelings

to just see for yourself where you’re at, its good babe. Healthy even.

Just don’t go bonkers, aight? Let it be.

You’re right man, I need to calm down and relax.

Thanks for being a friend and cheering me up. I feel a lot better.

Come on! Isn’t that why I am still here, beating for you.
