We all have experienced that initialed word that I mentioned in the fancy title up above. B.S. otherwise known as
"bullshit
" is unfortunately a common occurrence that we run into on this rock on the daily. Unfortunately, some days when we run into it when it's in top form and starts piling more and more crap on top to make others miserable. And while it rots our minds and demeanor, B.S. just sits there laughing it's ass off while giving you the finger because you have fallen victim to it's horrid game.
So what can you do? Simple.
Drop It.
When people don't like something in particular, they thrown it away. If something taste funky, they spit it out. If a certain location looks suspicious, they make a U-Turn. A person treats them unfairly? Cuts them loose. So why can't people do something similar to these actions when dealing with the crappy parts of their life story?
You run into a raging customer at the cashier, your B.F.F. has turned into an instant douche-bag, your jeans suffer a rip due to a trip and fall, bills, bills, and more bills, an argument arises between you and your spouse, family starts getting irritated with you and your actions, work is turning from a joy to and absolute nightmare, things just aren't going your way and seems like everything you do just goes South...
Seem familiar?
Things are not all rose pedals, pretty rainbows, and cotton candy unicorns in this life. Although a cotton candy unicorn does sound badass right about now...anywho, life does has it's rough patches here and there; Some people experience them more often than others. When things like that suddenly pop into your sanctuary, simply look at it and then drop it on it's head. What I mean is don't instantly blow up like a Nuclear Strike in Modern Warfare 2 when something goes wrong or your a victim of a bad circumstance.
Simply, take a step back (mentally, physically, or both!) and breathe. Look at the situation at hand and play out the possible outcomes of the situation in your head and pick your poison. Then once the conclusion and the credits roll after the matinee has shown, please exit the theater in a classy fashion. B.S. also has a lasting affect on people almost similar to a thriller or suspense flick and it may come out in spurts well after the event has passed. In this case, do something to get your mind off of it; read a book/magazine, work-out at the gym, rage on a video game, talk to a buddy, turn up the music and zone out, have a drink with the girls or guys...DO SOMETHING!

Like I said, it's unfortunate that B.S. type situations do exist. However, that doesn't give you the right to turn into a bullshitter yourself because that just doesn't fit you. Instead of talking B.S., drop it. Your mind and sanity will thank you kindheartedly if not now but well on in your future. Take your future into your own hands and stomp a mud-hole into any form of B.S. that comes your way and keep on, keeping on.
Drop the Bullshit. You ain't got the time for that.
You Have A Life To Live.
