The Pressure
There’s a pressure on you all the time to be exciting and different, isn’t there? It’s not enough to have a decent job and be lucky enough to be in a happy relationship any more, no: now you have to have done something outlandish, like wrestling a crocodile or jumping out of a plane or something.
Well, I’m well and truly sick of it. It’s called the journey through life, isn’t it? It’s not called the let’s get on our high horses and be all outspoken and arrogant all the time.
Last night, it all got on top of me. Me and my friends were sitting there enjoying ourselves one minute, and the next this Russell Brand lookalike was sitting at our table telling us all about how he trained as a ninja. And not just any ninja, but an actual ninja in some temple somewhere.
So I said, “go on then, show us a ninja move” thinking he was full of it.
Then he did a backflip right there and everyone started to clap and I just wanted to die die die.
So the lesson here is not to challenge people, ever, because you never know when it’s going to stand up and slap you in the face. It’s better to just let it slide over you.
Just stick to staring at your phone, pretending that the roaming worldwide charges you have access to are really very interesting. The pain will be gone soon enough, and it’s healthier to just focus upon that.
