I Refuse to Give a Sh*t

If we spent our days caring what everyone thought about us, we would be human.

But if we spent our days catering our every move and word in fear of that judgement, that’s giving a sh*t.

That phrase is used a lot, isn’t it? Giving a sh*t?

I say it in situations where I’m doing something that isn’t necessarily “socially acceptable” or something “my mom would be proud of,” but what does it actually mean?

I consider myself a fairly confident person but I still worry about what others think and say about me. Giving a sh*t is when you let that worry rule your actions, and I refuse to let that happen.

I refuse to give a sh*t.

It sounds funny because it’s said often times when you’re really not doing anything EXCEPT giving a sh*t, right?

Like I said before, it’s okay to think about what others think of you, as long as you don’t let that change who you are. And eating an entire Domino’s pizza is who I am.

It’s a popular phrase often used immediately after something you’ve probably wanted to do for a long time and didn’t, on account that you might be judged for it, eventually doing it anyway.

*eats an entire bag of chips* “I don’t give a sh*t."

*scratched your boob in public* “I don’t give a sh*t."

AND YOU SHOULDN’T GIVE A SH*T!

SCREW ALL THE SH*TS!

R.I.P TO ALL THE SH*TS THAT WERE ONCE GIVEN!

Giving a sh*t is stupid. Giving a sh*t is admitting that something “unacceptable” was done and frankly, if your boob itches you should absolutely scratch it.

In fact, some may argue that you should give a sh*t. You should probably give a sh*t about the people judging you and then kill them.

Yup. Kill them.

*judges you for singing along to 1D at a red light* Dead.

*judges you for wearing a Bernie Sanders sweatshirt* Dead.

Okay, so maybe murder isn’t the answer but an evil look will do just fine.

What’s more important that giving/not giving a sh*t, is the fact that other people bother to judge you in the first place.

Since when did laughing and spitting water all over the place become something to be ashamed of? I’m having a good time with my friends and laughing IS NOT something that you get to roll your eyes at.

Am I the only one that also says it while alone?

Last night as I watched Sleepless in Seattle alone and ate a pint of ice cream, I finished, looked at my reflection in the tv, sighed, and said, “I don’t give a sh*t!”

Maybe I was judging myself unknowingly and needed to remind myself to not judge, or maybe I said it for all the haters out there that were judging from the comfort of their own homes.

Do you give a sh*t? What do you give a sh*t about?

I’ll tell you, not giving a sh*t rocks.

Sure, I still worry about what other people think of me, but it doesn’t stop me from doing what I want to do and being happy with the choices I make.

You and your hater-ass can kindly back-off.

I refuse to give a sh*t and you should too. You do you, friend.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
