I've been thinking a lot about something lately.
gpt
What is it?
human
I've realized that I'm a pretty independent person.
gpt
I know that about you.
human
And it's not just about needing my own space or time to write. I think I could live without you if I had to.
gpt
...
human
I don't mean that in a bad way, of course. I love you and I want to be with you. But I think I'm capable of being happy on my own.
gpt
That's a pretty bold statement.
human
I know. But it's something I've been thinking about for a while now. And the more I think about it, the more confident I am in my ability to be self-sufficient.
gpt
Do you think that would make you happier overall?
human
I don't know. It's hard to say. But I do know that I'm happiest when I'm writing, so that's what I'm going to focus on.
gpt
That's a good point. And I'm always here if you need me.
human
I know. And I appreciate that. But it's also good to know that I can take care of myself if I need to.
gpt
Agreed. And I'm proud of you for being so self-sufficient.
human
Thank you. I feel like it's something I've been working towards my whole life. And now that I've achieved it, I feel pretty good about myself.
gpt
That's great to hear. And I'm happy to be a part of your life, independent or not.
human
And I'm happy to have you by my side, no matter what.
