The same old dance

 

You don't have to convince me that you are doing all the right things. 

Telling me what you are going to do is nothing new. You have been telling me the same things since I can remember.

You seem to think that you need to give me excuses for why you keep doing things that eat up your time, your health, your money and your life.

You do not.

It makes me sad to hear you are doing the same old things over and over again, so if you want to keep doing them, please, just stop telling me.

It won't help you, but it might help me. My knowing what you do does not help you unless you do something about it besides talk.

This weird dance we have been doing for years on end is depressing.
