The traffic jam doesn't know you're late.
The rain doesn't care about your plans.
The setback won't feel your disappointment.
We perform our stress to an empty room.
Like the situation might soften if it sees how much we care.
It won't.
Circumstances aren't people.
They don't negotiate. Don't respond to emotion. Don't owe you acknowledgment.
Every reaction you throw at them lands nowhere.
The only thing that absorbs the impact is you.
