Today’s lunchbreak has been a productive one, as proven by the hugely insightful musings below; ‘the world according to Sooze’, if you will. Some might make you chuckle, some might make you think, but all are unequivocal, certain, unwaveringly factual truths that simply cannot be denied.
Who’d have thought a midday peanut butter sarnie could yield such incredible results?
Life is hard but it can be beautiful. Cherish what makes you happy instead of dwelling on what makes you sad. [I made that up all by myself.]
Bad stuff happens to good people. No one’s immune from the proverbial you-know-what hitting the fan – it’s impossible to go through life without being on the receiving end at some point. Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and remind yourself you deserve to win at life. Then get back out there and prove your awesomeness.
Cheap teabags rarely cut the mustard. Pillow-sized sacks of the stuff always seem like a good idea at the time but inevitably end up being a massive fail. ‘You get what you pay for’ certainly applies here. A good cuppa is one of life’s little pleasures (some might say essentials) so do your soul a favour and feed it well.
Accepted wisdom might only be around because no one’s ever challenged the status quo. Stick your neck out if it’s attached to a head that contains a brain capable of independent thought. No one ever got anywhere by being a sheep.
Being fixated on your weight is a miserable place to be. Change your mind and your body will follow. Outlook is everything.
Your heart will get badly broken, probably more than once. It will mend, but give it time and be kind to yourself. Healing is an essential part of survival.
Sproglets who go around screeching and screaming in a blood-curdling fashion worthy of a Hammer Horror Oscar should be silenced in no uncertain terms. You can achieve this in several ways:
1) Do some actual parenting and tell them to stop.
2) Authorise your neighbours to do your parenting for you – or at least don’t get aggressive when they seize the initiative.
3) Take out a home improvement loan and create a soundproofed room in which to confine the little darlings. Alternatively, fund the project with the money you were saving for their university education. The robots will have taken all our jobs by then anyway.
British summertime will always be a total wipeout featuring mud, floods and wet blustery weather…apart from when it’s too hot and ends up causing death, carnage and general mayhem. Have a cup of suitably priced properly brewed tea and carry on.
Fashion bloggers and influencers deserve respect, if only for their relentless and dogged determination to get the money shot, so to speak. Taking a decent photo of yourself is far harder than it looks, especially when you want to show off a nice outfit and not look like a total muppet. [I should know – I’ve tried it.]
While we’re at it, let’s also applaud the models of this world. How they manage to avoid looking like total idiots or certifiable psychos when not being snapped in a happy social situation of their own choosing is totally beyond me – especially when you see some of the ridiculous clothes they’re forced to wear. They even manage to make loads of money and become successful business people, proving brains and beauty are not mutually exlusive. Some people get all the gene pool luck.
