Or do you have to die at all? Just saw this reflective post that I wrote last year and it surprised me a bit. It’s always interesting to me to creep back into the darker corners of my mind and the illuminated corners and experienced that ‘head-space’ all over again, as if I’m staring at a Dorian Gray like pictorial. Cover that baby up and live on.

“You have to choose your battles and decide which hill you want to die on. Don’t choose the wrong battle and the wrong hill…and eventually lose out. Some people never learn this. This, unfortunately, is the politics of managing a relationship. People love to talk about it as if there’s no science behind it, as if love is just free flowing and daisies are floating through the air. Love is work, and this is a part of that job. However, if you love what you do, or who you do in this case, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
