DON’T YOU THINK WE ARE STILL CONFUSED BETWEEN WHAT WE WANT AND WHAT WE ARE TOLD TO WANT?
She: I tried my best. Still I was left alone.
He: I saw how much you tried. But don’t you think it wasn’t really love?
She: I chased him. Gave all my attention. Waited for his messages. I never noticed if he asked about my day or what I was going through. I didn’t bother him with my problems. I was always listening and starting the conversation because I thought he must be busy. It’s okay.
He: So you already had the answer within you?
She: Yes. But I didn’t let that stop me. I wasn’t chasing him. I was chasing his profession title.
He: And why that?
She: Because that title made me feel secure. Like I would have a comfortable and respected life.
He: Is that why you ignored the one who actually cared for you?
She: He is amazing. He understands me. Does things for me. Even earns well. But he doesn’t have the title I am obsessed with.
He: But deep down you know even if you chase someone with a high profile career and give your all one day you will get tired of pretending. And at the end of the day you will crave someone with whom you don’t have to fake anything.
She: You’re right. But how do I stop this obsession with high professions?
He: Grow into that level yourself. When you build your own value the obsession fades. You will stop looking at people in terms of money and start seeing them for how they make you feel. What you actually need.
