Hello current self,
It is past self.
Uhm, I was wondering why you denied my income request?

Past self, I'm offended by the fact you believe you're worth any of my dime!

Am I not you?
What have I ever done to you to deserve this treatment from you?

Funny you ask like you don't know.
Ok I'll say it. I'm ashamed of you!
Just look at the quality of your life, your results.
I'm embarrassed for you!

But aren't you successful because I exist?
Would you be who you are without my existence?

Ha! I'd rather I never did!
Yes, that's why I denied you...

Aren't I the validation and home you've been secretly seeking out there?

What do you mean??

You forget I feel everything when you double check your socials hoping a stranger proves you wrong for how you really feel about yourself.
