Ladies and gentlemen, how's everyone doing tonight? You know, today is National A Room Of One’s Own Day! Yes, it’s a day dedicated to women’s independence! Thank you, Virginia Woolf! She was all about creating your own space and pursuing personal goals.
And let me tell you, having a “room of one’s own” sounds great—until you realize that you’ve just designated a corner of your living room to hide from your kids, your pets, or just from reality! Like, "Honey, I’ll be in my room of my own...watching Netflix and avoiding adulting!"
So, speaking of personal goals, let’s be honest, we all have them. My ultimate goal right now? A new career! Who doesn’t want to land that dream job where your boss only communicates with you through inspirational quotes? Just one “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” away from being employed! Can we talk about how vague and unhelpful that sounds, though? Like, I'm not trying to be Michael Jordan; I'm just trying to figure out if the coffee machine at this new job works!
And on top of that, I’ve got my side hustle, For the Love of Basgifts. Yes folks, that’s right! I sell gifts to make you feel better about your questionable decisions! But here's the kicker—I’ve got 574 friends on Facebook and only 40 followers on TikTok! What’s up with that? I feel like a failing contestant on a twisted version of ‘Survivor’!
“Congratulations, you’ve made it to the end of your social media journey! But you now have fewer followers than the average cat video!”
I mean, come on! If we’re friends, how can you not enjoy me dancing unconventionally to pop songs while pretending to sell stuff? I’m basically the “before” picture in every adulting book!
So I’m appealing to all of you, will you be my Valentine and go like and follow my TikTok? I promise the warm and fuzzy feelings will outweigh the shame of being an adult trying to make money on the internet! Like, at this rate, I might as well start flossing and doing TikTok challenges when I should be attending job interviews. "Yes, Mr. Boss Man, I can totally handle these spreadsheets, but have you seen my viral dance to ‘Old Town Road’?”
So, remember, folks, this National A Room Of One’s Own Day, let’s all create a space—preferably a ‘like’ space for my TikTok! I'm just trying to find my independence, artistic expression, and maybe a little ad revenue. Thank you, terrific people! You've been amazing!
