Tips for Success During the Holidays
Tip #1 - Fuck it
All year long you’re doing the right thing, drinking in moderation, eating healthy, trying to impress people, pretending you care, working hard for little money, suffering through endless early mornings, conference calls with assholes, terrible dates with terrible people that lead to regrettable sex, family phone calls to hear how disappointed they are in you, missed opportunities, not living up to your potential, dealing with piles of laundry, dealing with piles of bullshit and bad hair days.
Well, if the holiday season has any meaning at all it is that for this one short period of time during the year we all get a complete pass on everything that exhausts us all year long. Want to drink too much and make a fool of yourself in front of friends and family? Fuck it. Go ahead. You deserve it. Don’t want to shower or shave your privates for a week despite what your girlfriend thinks? Fuck it. Tell her to shut the hell up and do the same. You’ll both stew in your hairy smelliness together and be all the more in love because of it. Feel like telling the people you can’t stand most in your life to go to hell? Fuck it. Go ahead. What’s the worst that will happen? You’ll no longer have to deal with people you can’t stand anymore? Win!
The holidays are a free pass. It is the recharge for the year to come. Let the real you rear it’s head and just say fuck it. Taking this time to be the person you really want to be will prepare you for another year of faking it.
Fuck it! Go ahead. Say it out loud right now. It’ll feel great. Happy Holidays!!!
