I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Why?
Because I constantly lie to myself.
About what?
I don’t want to say, it’s embarrassing.
Can I help?
You could feel sorry for me and give me an A.
I can’t give you an A if you haven’t done the work.
You’ve told us plenty of times marks don’t mean anything.
True, but if you want to manipulate things, then they mean something, plus you’re violating the spirit behind my statement.
Aren’t you being a hypocrite, saying one thing but doing another?
You mean you feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde but I actually am his incarnation.
Well put.
Do you think there are people who don’t lie to themselves?
Not on this planet.
Agreed.
Maybe I shouldn’t be embarrassed.
Have you tried putting it in song?
That’s the problem.
How is that?
I write the same song over and over.
Then where exactly are you lying to yourself?
I’m not writing something new. It is embarrassing.
Oh I see, I’ve done that.
Really?
Habits, for sure, but just because you habitually start one way doesn’t mean you have to finish that way.
Easy for you to say.
No one’s going to write the song’s solution except you. You are going to be the one who comes to the rescues …of you.
Don’t you hate reality?
I think you mean you hate feeling stuck.
No I hate reality.
Like Sisyphus.
Is that a band?
Solo artist.
I’ll check him out.
