Everyone has things that make them tick. We are, as I have observed, a majorly bitter and angry people. We are a melting pot of people who do things differently and, because we always think we're right, we are a melting pot of people who get frustrated with each other. Here are some of my light-hearted frustrations told by cats and babies (just because):
1. When you know someone, make eye contact, and they act like they don't see you.
You know. Walking down the hall, there's only you and one other person. You've met them before but when you make eye contact, they just keep walking. Even worse, you decided to smile at them. So now they've passed and no smile was reciprocated... you're smiling at nothing and no one. Do you slowly fade out of the smile? Do you just wipe it off your face? ALL I WANTED WAS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
2. When people get mad about crying babies.
Parents don't purposefully plant themselves in public just to direct their babies in loud sobs like its a surprise choir concert. It's a baby, dang it. It does what it wants and it doesn't care about you. That's life.
3. People who wear arm sleeves in sports and aren't really injured.
Compression is for swelling, mainly. In addition, those who wear sweatbands for fashion is also a no-no. If you're sweaty, be my guest. If you're injured, be my guest. If you're not, just play the game.
Also, girls who wear their hair down in competition or in the weight room. I'm sorry to judge you but, especially if you're D1, this is a business transaction. We're here to work, so put up your hair and grind. This pertains to some sports more than others.
(Excludes women with super short hair and most Afros.)
4. People who make Romans 1 more important than John 3:16.
Campus Preachers, this one is for you! Anyone who makes the two paragraphs in Romans 1 as a reason to not serve or love anyone in the gay and trans community, you are not doing Christianity right. Making homosexuality the sin-est sin of all sins is against Biblical teaching. It's funny (and by funny, I mean not funny at all) how we will pass bills saying that people of religion can deny someone service who is gay in the name of religion, but we serve those who watch porn, live for themselves, worship money and other idols? If you're boycotting someone's life that you disagree with, if according to the Bible, you won't be serving anyone at all. Ever. Not even yourself. Sin is not a hierarchy. If you break one commandment, you break them all.
5. Semi-colons.
If you don't know how to use a semi-colon, don't use it. It's not a necessary part of our lives; therefore, you needn't use one.
6. People who hate cats.
Why? How? If you're not a cat person, that's fine. I get that. But stop telling me how terrible cats are because you're wrong. As sad as this truth is, I legitimately get angry when people trash talk cats. They're all my babies and I will defend them till death.
(Just because I'm for the Cat Lives Matter movement and the female cattist movement, does not mean I am anti-dog or anti-mouse. Just because there are a few bad eggs, does not, in turn, reflect the movement in itself.)
7. People who are really good at things that I want to be good at.
Exhibit A: People who get their homework done super early and while I'm panicking, they're relaxing.
Exhibit B: People who are really good at BS-ing their papers and get a higher grade than me even though I actually did the work.
Exhibit C: People who are great at planning their meals, working out on their own, and can get up early.
(I love all of you and am reallyhappy for you. Your greatness is radiant and distracting.)
8. When food places are stingy.
Can I get a chicken Caesar wrap? *gets two pieces of chicken and one slice of tomato*
Can I get a bagel with cream cheese? *layer so thin you can still see the bagel under it*
*pays 15 dollars*
But then I keep going back in hopes that it was just an accident. (It is not an accident)
9. When I text someone something serious and they don't respond.
You wait 30 minutes and then hit them with the "Kay good talk" and they respond right away with, "I was in the shower," or "sorry I fell asleep." Or they tell you to calm down and tears of straight, red-hot anger start burning through the skin on your face, onto your phone, and you hope it seeps through the text and hits them in the eye, making them blind for life. (just kidding)
The whole situation just never ends well, you know?
My boyfriend likes to say, "Sorry, I got distracted." Which I find relatable, yet also still frustrating. That situation is actually happening right now. Like, as we speak, I have texted my bf in a serious manner and he has not responded. It's been 12 hours.
"distracted"
I'm the only distraction you need.
(Love you)
10. Bugs.
This picture represents a calm me watching an insect that has decided to be in my presence.
Why can't they stay outside? If they are outside... all this space and you chose here? Now? Why do they look so creepy? I love you dearly, God, but insects are one thing that I'll have to wait until I join you in Heaven to understand and appreciate. Don't fake throw them on me or show me pictures. I just can't do it.
