How to Give Less Fucks

The amount of fucks we give about ridiculous, inconsequential shit is kinda outta control. And when you consider that each individual person gives an inordinate amount of fucks about ridiculous, inconsequential shit and we all huddle together as a collective known as ‘society’ - the sheer number of utterly useless fucks being bandied around, en masse, is surely at epidemic levels.

Fucks get stored up in your body. They morph into tension headaches, nervousness, irritability, that knot in your stomach that just won’t go away. I’m no doctor, but if I was, I’d diagnose like three quarters of the population with ‘giving-too-much-of-a-fuck-itis.’

Truly, I believe it’s bad for your health. Why? Because giving too many fucks about things that ultimately, don’t really matter all that much, prevent you from living your life to the fullest.

And you deserve to be living a full, juicy, exciting, no-fucks-given kinda life.

How many times have you not worn that thing, gone to that place, danced to that tune, signed up for that class or whatever because you were scared or embarrassed or cared what it would look like to other people? AKA gave too much of a fuck. Oftentimes, weirdly it’s the opinions of strangers we seem to value the most.
