(Have you ever felt that you live in a world built for cynical people, and it is oh so exhausting? Normally, I'd laugh you out the door, but I'm in that sort of mood where I look at a quarter full glass and shout from the rooftops that I have a glass that's half full. Sharing is caring, right?
Well, in that spirit, I've decided to pluck some of the gnarliest proverbs I could find, and smoothe them into messages of hope and upliftment. Who needs all that negativity?)
- When you're down in the dumps, and all hope seems gone, your friends will all.. be there for you and support you, because that's what friends do.
- A chain is only as strong as #teamlinks because #oneteam, #noblamegame, #together.
- Actions speak louder than words (when you're at a metal concert, otherwise words do fine. Actions are fine too - I love Die Hard just like you - whatever floats your boat).
- A fool and his money are soon parted. Sure, but a thief and his money are soon parted as well. If not, that's OK, because he has mouths to feed, right?
- A leopard won't change its spots because it's spotty and proud as it should be.
- All good things come to an end, because great things are around the corner.
- An empty vessel makes much noise. That’s alright because you’re like a drummer playing the drums, and everybody loves drummers.
- Appearances can be deceptive, but they usually aren't. Yellow taxis are yellow taxis most of the time.
- Bite off more than you can chew, because how else would you know how much you can chew?
- Blow your own trumpet, because it’s better than a vuvuzela!
- Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile. Yes, but if that’s your partner planning your surprise birthday party, more power to them, right?
- Cry away over that spilt milk, because let it all out, detox, and milk’s as good a thing to rue as any.
- Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open, your mom says? Well, mama don't know all when it comes to kissing well.
- Go ahead. Run before you walk because in a world full of escalators, walking is overrated.
- Man proposes, and man implements, and man is happy, because who does that sky deity think He is, disposing of other people’s stuff?
- You take your horse to the river, and she drinks through a straw, because they're still around.
- My old dog just learnt that she can run from one end of the room to the other with her eyes shut. That’s a pretty darn neat trick eh?
- What's wrong with me, you wonder? Nothing, because whatever you are, you are golden.
