What a Mess, Dummy.

[rosiedoes]

You know... so often lately I see people identifying themselves as a "Beautiful Mess" or "Hot Mess" or similar, derogatory terms. I see them refer to other people as a "hot mess" as if it's some kind of compliment.

And I really don't understand how that's a compliment.

For a start, a 'hot mess' just reminds me a of a steaming dog turd waiting for you to step in it. Secondly, yeah - it's nice to be hot, or beautiful, or whatever but... a mess? Seriously? Why would that be something to be proud of? Or pleased about?

Drug-addled, vodka-soaked, racoon-faced, scene "queens" (does that come from the fact they all look like drag queens?) are a mess in the same way roadkill is a mess. And equally unpleasant.

I am so very bored and bemused by the near-universal desire, online, to take pride in being a failure, or a bitch, or an arsehole, or a neurotic drama-magnet, or a 'mess'.

What the hell is wrong with everyone? Cheer the fuck up! Try to find something about yourself that's likeable and legitimately attractive (and don't waste your time with the "but there's nothing about me that's attractive! Wah wah wah!" bullshit, because you'll just be kidding yourself and irritating everyone else) and then embrace it. If you have nice hair, show it off. If you have pretty eyes, accentuate them. If you're a good, kind person, encourage others to get involved in your projects. If you're efficient and well-organised, help people who are less so.

Just, for the love of all that is rational: STOP PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING LESS THAN YOU ARE. Not least because most of you are probably putting on the self-deprecating bullshit because you think it's cool. It's not. It makes you look like goth wannabe twat. And that's never cool.

Have some goddamn self-respect and learn to like yourselves a little more, will you?

Haha. Now would be a really hypocritical time for my usual self-deprecating, "Thanks, dude, but I'm not sure I agree..." wouldn't it?

[desireem81.livejournal.com]

Haha, no, not really but at least your not calling yourself a big pile of steaming dog crap.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. I'm pretty sure other people are! XD

[desireem81.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they just don't know any better. XD

I always think there is something wrong with people today. Like no one argues on whose live is better its always a sympathy vote and no one sees whats good about their lifes.

I know some people need to vent of problems they couldnt control but drug addicts and people who put themselves into situationsthat are going to cause them harm need help, serious help.

Im sick of life being so depressing for people when they cant be thank ful for the littlest things.... like friends or having a good time without the need to be wasted or angry..

Its like, I was watching this clip on the Victoria fires and I immediately thanked god for our bad weather, espeically near my mums, and that I live in abeit lonely house. And it pushed me tp make more an effort with people...

Because I have a lot to be grateful fpr
