The world can be both astonishing and absurd, can’t it? We can now snag entire bags of only the red and pink Starbursts—goodbye to those dreadful yellow ones! There are mermaid-themed mommy-and-me swim classes, goat yoga, and unicorn everything. What a wild time to be alive, right? However, amid the delightful chaos of trendy leggings and the catchy tunes of popular artists, it often feels like the universe has lost its marbles.
I typically maintain a live-and-let-live attitude, steering clear of drama, but oh my goodness, there’s some utterly baffling stuff happening out there. I find myself swearing more often than I’d like, because sometimes, there simply aren’t enough eloquent words to express my disbelief. Seriously, what in the world is going on? Here are a few things that have me shaking my head, saying “WTF,” and using a variety of colorful acronyms lately.
1. Bizarre Fashion Choices
I’m not one to follow fashion closely, and haute couture trends often leave me scratching my head. But lately, I’ve been stunned more than usual. Leading the charge in wardrobe weirdness? A certain department store. What used to be my top pick for stylish shoes and dresses has become a source of confusion. Remember the clear-knee jeans? Or how about the outrageous price tags on items like sock sandals? And don’t even get me started on jeans that come pre-painted with faux mud. Like, really? Plus, there was that incident when an employee shamed a mother for breastfeeding in the bathroom. Come on, we can do better!
2. HGTV Shenanigans
I adore a good home renovation show just like anyone else. Who doesn’t enjoy watching a space get transformed? But what’s happening on HGTV lately? It’s either families of seven searching for tiny houses or couples who make organic granola looking for beachside properties costing nearly a million bucks. Even the beloved Joanna Gaines is selling overpriced throw pillows. Seriously, HGTV, it’s time to reassess your priorities.
3. Nonsense Everywhere
In this day and age, there’s no shortage of ridiculousness. Despite my efforts to stay optimistic, the state of humanity can be disheartening. It’s tough to turn on the news without feeling overwhelmed. Social media is filled with fake news and unrealistic portrayals of life, making it hard to maintain my positive bubble.
4. “All Lives Matter” Mindset
Let’s be clear: this phrase is problematic. Until every individual can walk out their door without fearing for their lives, it’s painfully clear that not all lives are treated equally. We must strive for a society where every life truly matters.
5. Discrimination in All Forms
It’s 2023, folks. Racism, xenophobia, sexism, and all other forms of discrimination have no place in our world. Let’s not even entertain the idea that they’re defensible.
6. Outrageous Kid Trends
Bottle flipping, DIY slime, fidget spinners—what on earth?! While these trends may seem harmless, my patience is wearing thin. And while fidget spinners are oddly satisfying, I could do without the mess from homemade slime.
7. Commenters Who Skip Reading
If your comment begins with “I didn’t read the article, but…” then you might as well stop right there. Let’s all agree to read before we weigh in!
8. The Current Political Climate
Let’s just say, this speaks for itself. Feel free to express your thoughts about it, I know I have plenty!
9. Liars and Fraudsters
I have little tolerance for deception. Those who bend the truth or engage in hypocrisy are a stench I want no part of. Authenticity is key, people!
10. The Overly Sensitive
I’m baffled by those who navigate parenting without a few choice words. But please, spare me the lectures about how to speak. I’m an adult, thank you very much. How else would we cope with the frustrations of life without the occasional “WTF” or “FTS”?
In conclusion, the world can be a perplexing place, full of unexplainable trends and frustrating realities. It’s crucial to embrace a little humor and honesty to manage the chaos.
