I realize I haven’t posted in a long time, I’ve been slacking. I’ve been super super busy lately. Honestly, I barely have time to breathe. But tonight I’m making time to post.
First, let me ask you a question…. ready? Where do I live?
Better yet, where do you THINK I live.
Do I live in imagination land? Fairy land? Disney Land? The fake world? Because I’m pretty sure I live in the real world.
So, remember what the title of this post is… “Things you should never, ever say to me…”
Don’t EVER say to me, Welcome to the real world. And you should NEVER call me honey. Especially if you’re not my mother or my lover. And you should never, EVER say “welcome to the real world, honey.” to me… ever ever ever.
I’m sorry, but where the hell do you think I live? And how long does a person have to live in the real world before people stop welcoming you to it? … because I swear to god if I was paid every time I was welcomed to the real world, I could probably afford to live in imagination land. I’ve been welcomed to the real world since I was 14 years old.
So I ask you, what IS the real world? Is the real world when you have a job? Is it when you have 2 jobs? 3? Because I’ve been there, done that… since I was 14 years old. Is the real world having responsibilities? Because, wait, let me check….yeah, I’ve got those too. Is the real world dealing with other people’s bull shit every day? Is it having people not take you seriously… because I’ve got that covered, too.
Other things you should never say to me are:
-When are you graduating High School? … wait a minute, wait a minute… yeah, I did that several years ago.
-Oh, are you starting college soon?….. nope, finished it actually.
-Are you going to see your boyfriend this weekend? … no, I’m going to see my fiance as soon as I get home, because we live together, in the house that we pay for.
There are lots of other things you should never, ever say to me… but unfortunately, I live in the REAL world and have REAL responsibilities I must now go attend to… before I pass out from exhaustion and wake up in the morning to do it all over again… like I’ve been doing for the past 8 years.
Any one else agree with me here or am I way off base? What world do YOU live in?
