Mind over matter (phrase): The use of willpower to overcome problems
| My Head | My Heart |
| It’s time to get over it | How? |
| It’s time to move forward | How? |
| It’s time to stop thinking about it | How? |
| Time. Just give it time | How much more time? |
| Other people would have handled this better than you | How did they do it? |
| You are crazy | But this feels like the only rational response |
| You’re moping | I’m broken |
| Maybe next time, you should try to get less attached | How is that even possible? |
| It’s better that way | Nothing is better now |
| You have to be able to be happy for other people, at some point | Why? When? |
| You are happy for them, deep down | It hurts to go that deep |
| I wonder, what it would be like if… | Please don’t do that |
| They must be so happy | Please don’t think about it, I can feel it |
| Ask a question, I want to know everything | I don’t want to know the answer |
| Please do it | No, thank you |
| It’s easy | It’s too hard |
| You’re feeling sorry for yourself again | But it still hurts |
| This must stop: mind over matter! | You’re the mind, but I matter |
| You need to be positive | I need to be realistic |
| This might work | This might fail |
| You should hope for the best | I should prepare for the worst |
| You can’t stay angry forever | Why not? |
| You can’t avoid everyone who has upset you | Why not? |
| It’s not their fault | But they made it worse |
| You’ll have to face them some day | Not today |
| Are you really angry at them, or what’s happened to you? | Both. Neither. Both. |
| I think you’re pathetic | I feel you’re heartless |
| You’re a bad person | I don’t like you either |
| It’s time to get over it | You said that already… |
