I used to be really sheltered. And I for the most part, still am. I grew up in a small college town where people wave at each other and let each other go at 4 way stops, and people fucking merge, man. Like they let you in a lane when you need to get in. It was a glorious place to live. And this was my view of the world. I never involved myself in politics or watching the news because I knew it would make me angry or upset. I mean, I cry when I see those pop tart commercials where the pop tart is a little cartoon and gets eaten by another cartoon. BECAUSE I FEEL BAD FOR THE POP TART.
So naturally I can’t handle real life. I just can’t hang.
Inevitably I became an adult and now I can’t avoid the terrible things going on around me as easily. People like to talk about whats going on around them or whatever. I would prefer to communicate via Fuck Jerry Gifs and videos of baby pigs eating apples but NO. We have to talk about GUN REGULATION and TERRORISM. ugh. I hate it. I really really do.
I understand it’s necessary to talk about, I just wish they didn’t even have to be subjects of discussion. Andy Warhol once said, “Everybody should like everybody.” Right?! Fuck you guys, just like do your own thing and believe what you want to believe in and if something makes you so angry you want to hurt someone or something, there is a Ben and Jerry’s down the street and so many cute puppy videos on Youtube. Handle your shit like it’s 2015.
That’s what the internet is for. Like have you ever seen those videos that are like 10 minutes long and it’s just a series of different people falling down or hurting themselves? Or that one video that got 1 million views that was just a baby panda sneezing? Those people knew that we were going to be hearing about innocent people dying all day and it fucking sucks. It just fucking sucks, so they were like here you go. Here’s a little tiny turtle wearing a sombrero. Because, you need it.
(Apparently a photo of a tiny turtle with a sombrero only exists in my imagination and not on Google.)
So hang in there, pet animals, take deep breaths, be thankful for the luxuries in your life, hug your friends, call your grandparents and let people merge.
