The More You Talk About It

“The more you talk about it, 

rehash it, 

rethink it, 

cross-analyze it, 

debate it,

 respond to it, 

get paranoid about it, 

compete with it, 

complain about it,

 immortalize it, 

cry over it, 

kick it, 

defame it, 

stalk it,

 gossip about it, 

pray over it, 

put it down, 

or dissect its motives,

 it continues to rot in your brain. 

It is dead. 

It is over.

 It is gone. 

It is done. 

It is time to bury it 

because it is smelling up your life 

and no one wants to be near 

your rotted corpse of memories and decaying attitude. 

Be the funeral director of your life 

and bury that thing!”
