There is a lot of talk going around, about how what we say about ourselves today inevitably decides our future. You know all the blip blah blah blah. So I for one have devised my own new language which both makes you sound better and I guess on a subconscious level feel better. (By the way the below is a joke, I have been told some people took it seriously, I am too dark to be an optimist come on) Here are just a few examples: I am not single – I am between boyfriends (so true) I am not paying too much rent – I have a fabulous apartment in Tel Aviv (not worth what I pay) I am not unhappy about my role at work – I am paving my way to a brilliant career (which involves doing a lot of shit) I don’t wish I had bigger breasts – I am an intellectual, with no interest in physical beauty (yours yes, mine no) I am not jealous off…. – I am so happy I don’t have to deal with that stuff anymore (going abroad and being in love) I am not bored – I like interesting people (no, you’re just boring) I am not heavy – I go with the flow (of my own heaviness) I am not a geek – I have various interests (all of which include dressing up as a super hero) I am not too poor to buy my own place – I am free from life’s burdens. And for those of you who are unemployed my favorite: I am currently between projects So you get the idea…..anything to add? |
