"One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as one big heist." - Joanne the Scammer
Very few times in life do we come across an individual we can consider a true icon. A "#goals," if you will. I didn't realize how blindly I was living until a persona by the name of Joanne The Scammer scammed her way into my world. Her methods are a bit extreme when taken literally, but her underlying message reigns true every day: take control of your life and be the ultimate scammer.
Joanne has many quotes for ways of living, but these are my top 9 quotes that remind me every day to always be a "messy bitch", all found on her iconic Twitter, @joanneprada.
1. "Be positive, be patient, be petty"
Always remember the three P's. Be positive: when you don't have a scam, stay positive that you will find one. Be patient: If you can't find a scam, be patient and wait for a scam to find you. Be petty: the more petty acts you commit, the more people will be thinking about you. No publicity is bad publicity, homegirl.
2. "Scam today, before today scams you"
To be the ultimate scammer, one must take control of their surroundings and make life their b*tch. Never let life take advantage of you before you can take advantage of it.
3. "If you listen closely, you can hear drama in the air"
Drama makes the world go 'round. Your pettiness often will land you in the middle of some juicy drama, but don't interact with it. Grab a golden lawn chair, your most expensive stolen fur
4. "Being a bitch will take you far in this life. Being a messy one will take you even further"
A messy b*tch is the ultimate level of being. You live for drama, you scam life and you are endlessly iconic. You're not only someone that people consider a b*tch, you're the kind they wish they could be.
5. "Everything in life is temporary, so steal what you want today"
Be patient, but don't let life slip you by. Take what you want in life while you're still here to do it. That opportunity won't last forever.
6. "If a Caucasian opportunity doesn't knock, build a Caucasian door"
Similar to the last, you have to grab life by the expensive, imported horns and make the Caucasian life you want for yourself. Scams won't always just land in front of you, you have to find the scams. You have to create the drama. Don't expect opportunities to find you, go find them yourself.
7. "With all due respect, girl bye"
Never let anyone bring you down, homegirl. You may be a messy b*tch who lived for the drama, but you don't need a jealous girl shoving her nose in your business. You need to focus on your scams and they need to focus on their own and not bother you. Drop anyone who stands in the way of you and your heists.
Joanne may seem a bit crazy, but when you really think about it her take on life makes a lot of sense. Create opportunities, make yourself known, and don't let anyone take advantage of you or stand in the way of getting what you want out of life. We all should add a little of the Joanne mentality to our lives.
