Road Trip!

When you want to vacation, you check several options and pick which option is best to travel for you and your budget. By far, driving tends to be much cheaper than catching a plane (or train or bus) and renting a car to use.  The only catch is that you may go crazy on your drive down there.

First off, as a woman, you want to make sure you grab everything in the world that you think you may need to bring with you.


Once of course everything is in the car, you feel a lot of excitement on your journey ahead. You have so much joy and thrill knowing that soon you will be a new place. You think the time will fly by...no matter how long the journey.


Of course after a while you get restless because you are in the same spot in the car, but you try to maintain that same thrill you had in the beginning. You use other alternatives to take your mind off of long journey ahead.


But as always on long drives, you reach a breaking point. After being in the car for a long period of time and a million corn fields you see on the way by, the realization hits that this journey that you once thought will be quick and simple has now become a journey that never ends. Before you reach breaking point, you try to grab hold a little longer to the last shred of hope.....


And then the realization hits.....



Once it hits you, your sanity is officially out the window. 


After a while of melting down with the realization, you come to acceptance that no matter what, you have to drive and your feelings about the trip have officially died. 


And because of all of this that happens in the car is the reason why you are worn out and ready to rest once you get there. After going through a major emotional roller coaster and a mental breakdown, you will have just enough energy to crash and sleep. 



Of course you will forget about the whole ordeal after resting and having fun on vacation....of course... when you repeat the same cycle going back home.

The Difference Between an Honest Opinion and Being Mean

I feel like I have to make this blog only for the simple fact that it is a very common problem with society today. A lot of people take a honest opinion and label it mean. For some reason, in some people's minds, if you don't agree with them 100%, you must be mean. It can be as simple as an outfit they are wearing to something crazy like trying to climb the Eiffel tower. It tends to start off with a bragging:



Case in point here. She is talking about how "awesome" her obviously ugly hat and bragging about it. Normally, a person would want give a warning to their friend or relative to prevent embarrassment in the future. 


I seriously believe if they hear an once of disagreement, a rage button pops on their head because you actually had gave thought to their question and not give an automatic yes to their question. In that case rage mode is on. 





In some ways, if you know that the person will go in a range, sometimes it's better to laugh about it.




But being mean comes with consequences......



Sadly, the best thing you can ever do is to bite your tongue and agree. Even though it's a lie, it is most of the time the safest bet.
