Sometimes my mind has to... give me a piece of my mind.

Some people take life way too seriously.
Including myself, I think. No, I know.
Of course some people really deserve to take themselves that seriously but honestly, me? No.
I dunno. Sometimes I feel like I need to mentally lighten up a bit. Ya know?
There'll be times where my conscience goes, Hey down there. You're getting way too wrapped up in yourself.
Too wrapped up in what you need to do, what you need to be, what you need to not be
You're just a person. Granted, a cool person. But a person just the same. Just like anybody else here
What's that? Oh, you didn't know? Yes, there are other people here. Expand your point of view for just a sec. Noticed 'em lately?
Gave any thought to that little fact? Uh huh. Thought so. It's really not that hard. You should try it sometime.  
Did it ever occur to you that there's more to life than school? Than getting things done?
Ever heard of stopping to smell the roses? "Joy is in the journey?" Any of this ringin a bell?
Slow down. Remember what's important & just do your best. Lighten up & live in the moment once in awhile. 
It's not the end of the world if things don't go perfectly. Pete's sake, lady. Being here is a gift
It's really that simple.

Duh. Thank you, conscience. I'm glad we're together.

I love this so much. I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes through this once in a while :)

Hey - your conscience and mine sound so similar!! I need that same kind of pep talk on a regular basis. I'm hoping to lighten up as I get older. :) Still waiting...
