something that bothers me
Elmo from Sesame Street talking in the third person
new walk
I’m trying a new confident walk with my shoulders rolled back, head high, and chest out. It feels very uncomfortable. I don’t like it. It makes me feel like I know things. I don’t want to look like I have all the answers. Because then people start asking you questions, “Hey… do you know where I can find the nearest gas station? Do you know the answer to this? And blah blah blah.” I don’t want people asking me questions. I don’t want to be bothered. I want to go back with my head down, shoulders shrugged, and chest in. People don’t bother you then. They leave you alone.
no regrets
We are overusing the ‘no regrets’ saying. No regrets should only be used when you have done your best or tried your hardest and gave it your all. Like when you tried college and failed. When you applied for a job and didn’t get it. Or if you moved to a new area then moved back home a year later. No regrets should not be used when your sitting on the couch all day watching Netflix. You can’t use no regrets in watching a show you shouldn’t have binged. You can’t use no regrets for eating a piece of candy you shouldn’t have. You can’t use no regrets after you just did fentanyl.
nailed it
I get fulfilled doing small things. I achieve a great sense of accomplishment for minuscule tasks. I feel really accomplished by taking out the garbage, grocery shopping, or clipping my nails. Yes, clipping my nails. One day I cut my nails and I felt like I achieved inner peace. I thought I found the meaning of life. You would’ve thought I found the cure to cancer just because I trimmed back a few of my toe nails. It’s empowering to get a small task done. It’s instant gratification.
ambulance inconvenience
Every time I see an ambulance I think “oh great… how is this going to inconvenience me now.” Whose life is so important? Is there injury really that serious? Is there life threatening injury that important? It’s quite inconvenient for me. I have things to do. The world revolves around me. I have to get Whole Foods to get a kombucha because I need probiotics for my tummy ache.
alien stereotype
Why are aliens portrayed as green looking adult babies that look like reptiles? Every alien is a creepy oversized baby with an adult sized body with a beer belly. All of them have skinny body types but big bellies. All of them have FUPAS no matter there gender. These so called sophisticated extraterrestrials are walking around naked. Where are your clothes? They have no private parts. They got big @$$ eyes and a head that’s the size of a hot air balloon. I don’t like looking at aliens.
doogie howser moment
I love getting things done. It makes me happy. I truly celebrate the small wins like clipping my toe nails. It’s a weird thing to celebrate but it leads to getting other things getting done like trying a new walk out. It leads me to write this blog about Elmo. I just realized if you shaved Elmo and painted him green he would look like an alien. It allows me to have no regrets.
