The Unwritten
Rules of Life
Humans being the
intelligent and higher life forms we constantly profess to be, you would think
that common-sense would come naturally.
Unfortunately this comes as a huge challenge for some people, resulting
in the presence of numerous jerks in the world.
Here is a little something put together, comprising of a few basic
unwritten rules of life, a common-sense manual if you will; let’s call it
common-sense 101 for dummies.
Please feel free
to use this manual as you feel fit and/or share it, in fact please share it
with someone who lacks common-sense.
This could be your part in making the world a better place for all with
fewer frustrations to contend with.
Keep your
annoying opinions to yourself. If they
aren't annoying, feel free to share them.
Unless you are a girl, don't decide what is offensive to girls. Just don't decide what is offensive to people
and what isn't. Don't be rude. Table manners count. Don't make fun of someone for being
“different”. Don't be a jerk. When being negative seems to be the only
option, a little ice-cream or your favourite movie won't hurt. Love yourself. Have confidence. Embrace your flaws, for example, if you
absolutely hate having to wear glasses, try walking through crowds announcing,
“Caution. Confident cute, nerd approaching!”
Find someone to trust your secrets with. You might be the most
independent person you know, but something could happen. Don't yawn really loudly, that's obnoxious. Don't overestimate or underestimate yourself. Maybe a little, that's fine, but if you start
thinking that you can handle 77 jobs at the same time, you need to calm down to
a mild panic rather. If you think you're
worthless, you aren't. You're gorgeous.
You're amazing. You're YOU.
And then of course, there are the times when
we doubt ourselves and feel as though we have failed miserably at life. Well,
here are a few tell-tale signs that you are doing better than you think you
are. You paid the bills this month and
maybe even had extra to spend on non-necessities. It doesn’t matter how much you belaboured the
cheques as they went out, the point is that they did, and you figured it out
regardless. You question yourself. You doubt your life. You feel miserable some days. This means you’re still open to growth. This means you can be objective and
self-aware. The best people go home at the end of the day and think: “or… maybe
there’s another way.” You have a
job. For however many hours, at whatever
rate, you are earning money that helps you eat something, sleep on something,
and wear something every day. It’s not
failure if it doesn’t look the way you thought it would – you’re valuing your
independence and taking responsibility for yourself. You have time to do something you enjoy. Even if “what you enjoy” is sitting on the
couch and ordering dinner and watching a movie. You can eat because you enjoy it. It’s not a matter of sheer survival. You have one or two truly close friends. People worry about the quantity but
eventually tend to realize the number of people you can claim to be in your
tribe has no bearing on how much you feel intimacy, acceptance, community or
joy. At the end of the day, all we
really want are a few close people who know us (and love us) no matter what.
And last but not least and this is for the
guys attempting their hand at pickup lines, here are a few of the worst ones
and we girls would appreciate you NOT using anyone of these. Ever.
Are you a beaver, cause dam… Are you from Wimpy
because I like you a latte? Do you work
at a hotdog cart because you sure know how to make a wiener stand? Are those Space pants because your butt is
outta this world.
There you have it, a few unwritten rules of
life. Now please, share this information
and help make the world a better place.
Glitter
greetings (and all things shiny)
