I Am Finally Content With The Things I Have

Some people have it rough, they get hand me downs and more so why judge for having better than that

I Am Finally Content With The Things I Have

Living with what you have is what I have learned to do. Not everybody gets blessed with getting whatever they want. And me? I am simply okay with the things I have. Because I know that I do not have to get handed things all the time. Or get what I want all the time to know that life is not perfect. Or that my parents love me. They love me all the time no matter if they say yes or no. I am okay with the things I have.

I know my mother tries her hardest. Even when I get upset. She’s amazing. But often too many kids get handed whatever they want. They grow up expecting so much out of people and from the world. I have learned that you have to work your butt off around the house to get what you want. Even then not getting it half the time.

But living the life of only getting what you want sometimes and somethings is better than getting everything handed to me. I rather be able to want to ride around and buy something for myself, than someone buy or hand me an expensive new phone. Although it would be nice. Society plays a big role with not fitting in and that comes to play. My parents have taught me so much.

It's not all about getting what you want all the time. If you keep getting handed everything you want. How are you going to make it in the real world? As a matter of fact kids half the time do not even have jobs and want their parents to pay for everything. They are not going to make it without knowing that having a job is so important and even paying for your own stuff is better than making your parents support you with a job.

To me buying my own things is a major relief than stressing and feeling bad when my parents or someone buys me something. It is such a wrong feeling when someone buys you something expensive. I hate to break it to you but people who are spoiled don’t take the time to look past the people who have it bad. They just want to judge those who don’t get much because they have better things and better clothes etc. It is just a wrong world we live in and we get grouped by state of mind.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
