Today, I wanna talk about snakes.
I have nothing against snakes, just as long as they stay in their provided vicinity. I have friends who couldn't even stand the sight of snakes (wait for it) on Google, let alone seeing it live. My beau has the tendency to turn into a real-life Godzilla if you were to joke about snakes with him; you can't even try. But that's the literal version of snakes, of course. What about the metaphorical version of it?
I'm sure everyone had an experience of having to be a snake, just to get out of a particular complication that requires them to turn into a manipulative creature. But to be a snake as a way of life? Oh my, why? Sigh. If you still have no idea how to really describe someone as a snake, you can also refer them as kaki belit. Kah kah, it's the most proper description of them but hey, whichever definition floats your boat.
My writing today is definitely inspired by Swift because she reminds me of the very few people that I know in real life. These people whom now I so very glad to call ex-friends. I'm not here to public-shame them because that's not a nice thing to do but considering what they had put me through during our friendship years; I don't think this would actually hurt them, at all. And I know I'm trying to practice the forgive and forget stuff but you know, band aids don't fix bullet holes. Tsk, can't believe I just quoted the mastermind behind this whole post.
So, what's so wrong about being a snake? Hah. It's wrong on so many levels because a) you're being dishonest in the lowest way possible b) you're a coward for having to opt for the easiest way out of a problem by playing victim c) you are assassinating someone else's credential by making your mistakes as theirs d) and you won't admit you are wrong. It's so annoying because there's no point trying to right the wrongs of these snakes because they would always know how to "belit" you back. The best way to deal with this kind of person is to just stay the frack away from them. Exactly what I did and I wondered why didn't I do it sooner.
Then I realized if I were to never deal with such person, I could never tell the basic criteria of a snake if I were to encounter their species in the future. So for that, I am forever grateful.
The snake that I once knew was probably not the worst kind of them because what I experienced with her was so predictable and, guess what -- so laughable. She made people go against me by spreading stories about me; of which actually was based on her life. Get what I mean? Like for example, she told A that I hate A, been talking bad about A when the truth is, she was the one hating A all the while when we were all friends. I knew exactly why she did what she did because if I were to get to A first, A would find out the truth and hate her for the same reason A is hating me for now but this smart snake know that that was what she needed to do in order to get our friends to take sides. I was furious at first because I didn't expect to be betrayed like that but then I realize, that is such a low thing to do. The important thing is, I could have done that to her but I didn't, and that mattered the most to me. I know I had lost a number of good friends because of her stories but that said nothing about me. it said more about her and the type of friends I had because they simply believe whatever she said.
No hard feelings, please. I am seriously writing all this with a smile on my face. I have no space for anger for this kind of people anymore because I feel really sad for them. Their need to ruin someone else's reputation just so they could get away with their bad deeds (in this case, their bad mouth). But hey, it's okay guys. Some people exist in your life for a reason so don't be angry for too long if you were to face with these snakes. You just gotta learn it, live it and let go.
As for the lovely Swift. It's too funny for me. She was so devastated that she was dragged into something she claimed to not be part of but of which she totally forgot that she herself has manipulated in so many ways. She played victim when people tried to public-shame her but it's always ok for her to call out her "foes" in her songs because; tsk, it's justified. God, it's so annoying when people justify making a certain bad decision but when it was done to them, they would feel like they are the least deserving of such treatment. This is why she was never my cup of tea. It was way before Styles and Hiddleston. There was just something amiss about her personality and the way she carries herself. But of course you can't not validate her achievements. But such achievements shouldn't come with a shitty attitude and that's all I'm saying.
How she's against women going against women; women should be lifting each other up but there she was making a song condemning Katy Perry. Just because you don't like this person, does that exclude her from the "women" category that you so proudly are fighting for? (I'm bold-ing this for a reason - every woman should ask this question to themselves before they start hating on another woman for such stupid reason)(I always ask myself this question too ok, don't worry please follow my lead) Konon, I must say. It's normal to not like one person for personal reasons but that simply just revoke her rights to speak for all the good-hearted women out there especially when you can't even move past your stupid feud with that person. I'm trying my best to be supportive of all the women in the world despite having not so good feelings about some who had hurt me before but I didn't try to fight my way and be the voice of feminism because I know, that's just plain biased and.... hypocritical.
I could write a list of things I don't like about her but that would just turn me into her lol. My point is, I just don't think it's a good idea if people are telling youngsters to look up to her. I would never let my daughter has her as a role model because it is so misleading and her arguments are so contradicting; it is so not going to be a good life reference, at all. I can't deny how happy I was that she finally got called out by Kimye although those two were not really my cup of tea either but someone had to put her in her place for once and for all.
I'm still laughing guys, like, honestly. I hope you guys don't take my writing seriously but at the same time I hope you are able to find the truth in whatever I've been writing here. So, watch out ok. Try to not associate yourself with the snakes and if there are some that you just can't get rid of, be careful with them. Make sure they can't use whatever you're telling them about your life, against you in the future. But most important, don't ever let yourself turn into a snake ok.
Of course it's the easiest way out, but come on my darling, save some love for your dignity ok. Much love, I-could-be-the-best-snake-too-if-I-wanted-to-but-you-should-be-glad-I-didn't. (insert my signature)(and a heart emoji)
Have a nice day!
