You Are a Badass

Sometimes the road to freedom lies in
deciding you’d rather be happy than
right. Yes, your idiot friend should have
paid the parking ticket she got when she
borrowed your car or your brother
shouldn’t have shaved your dog while he
was house sitting for you, but if they
don’t see it that way, instead of spinning
out on it for days, wouldn’t it feel so
much better to just let it go? Is it really
worth lugging around all those foul
feelings just so you can be right? Think
to yourself, “What do I have to do or not
do, or think or not think, right now, to be
happy?” And if the answer is “let the
jackass think he’s right,” then so be it.
