How These “Two” Words Destroy More Relationships Than You Think
Most are unaware of it, and many deny it, but it’s something that needs to be addressed.
Imagine crossing a railroad track with an approaching train. You look both ways, judge the speed, and think you have plenty of time to cross the track. As you sit there second-guessing yourself, you decide to floor it and go for it!
Fuck it, let’s do this! You hit the gas and feel a slight sputter, but then it kicks in, and off you go! Let’s roll!!! Finally, my baby is back!
But wait, what the fuck?
The engine died as you just got on the track on the slight incline! You stop dead on the tracks as the crossing signs close around you as you frantically try and restart your car.
The train is quickly approaching, and it feels impossible to get off the track. You love this fucking car! You’ve had it for four god damn years, and the hell if you’re going to lose it.
Your heart rate increases, and you feel light-headed as you breathe uncontrollably. You are in a full fledged panic attack! You begin to second guess yourself, calling yourself every name in the book. “You did it again, you dumb fuck! Nice one! How many times are you going to keep fucking up!?”
You begin to argue with your subconscious that you are unaware of. You start blaming the car for your poor decisions! You knew what the consequences could be, but you decided to go against your intuition and take the risk; it’s what you do! You fucking slammed the pedal to the metal and it failed you!
Your options
You begin to weigh the options of death or staying in something you love because you can’t let it go. You worked so hard for this car. You put a lot of time into cleaning it, taking care of it, and treating it special, because it is! It’s so god damn special even if most don’t see it! You do!
It’s your first car! There are so many fucking memories you can’t let this go! There is no other car like it in the world! I mean, there are, but not like this car! You can’t explain it!
