Doing It For The Plot: Ignore your best friend's advice
I said what I said. I know many of you are already planning to steal that one friend's phone and never allowing them to read this article (whomp whomp), but you have to hear me out first.
Life is a beautiful story that we only have one chance to experience. Do you really want to make it boring by making “healthy” decisions that will make you “happier in the long run,” or do you want to feel that rush of adrenaline when you throw your phone across the room after every text you send? Our best friends are such loving souls and genuinely want what’s best for us at all costs, but sometimes, I don’t want what’s best for me. Yep, I said it! What if, just for once (maybe more), I wanted to flip the script regardless of the consequences of my actions? Your best friend calls it a mistake, I call it a learning experience. Like yes, I know I've had a Pinterest board of my future wedding with every detail planned since the fourth grade, yet fold at any crumb of attention, but I'm literally just a girl, I want to do it for the plot, while I still can. This isn’t even just for the girls, though. I believe that everyone has the right to be delusional (except my best friend; this message is not for you).
I say be the main character. Have fun and be unpredictable! Don’t be afraid of being heartbroken or failing. What’s the worst that can happen? You end up with a different hair color or new bangs or no hair at all? That sounds like a fun experience to me! At the end of the day, every bad decision you make will just be a story you'll laugh about when you get over the pain, anywhere between a week to ten years! Those TikTok Tarot card readings are NO JOKE. IT IS A SIGN. TRUST ME (don’t trust me).
Let’s be real for a second. For some of us, yes, me included, all our plot needs is therapy, and that is perfectly fine. I think it’s important that we remember to protect our peace and be responsible. Honestly, I encourage you to seek help if you have made it this far.
P.S. This article is SOLELY for those of you who can still afford to live in delusion. I’ll be manifesting for you. Good luck!
