I’ve been thinking a lot about self-improvement. It’s an ongoing battle to become the self-actualised version of myself I wish to be. I know that all I really need is £1,000,000,000 but I refuse to associate with billionaires since they’re all evil… anyway, I digress. There’s this TikTok video (quelle fucking surprise) and I keep thinking that the line, “Do it lady” is just great advice. I think it’s the delivery of ‘Lady’ too. Like, it’s just sweet but not too #girlboss #sistersdoingit #aggressivecapitalistbullshit #hustleculture.
It’s just, hey, gently, hey you, do it.
NOT like Nike’s Just Do It. Don’t ‘just’ me. There is no ‘just’. I don’t know, maybe I’m being sensitive but ‘just’ implies that I should be doing it because it ain’t that hard. Yeah, well what if it is? I ain’t doing anything.
I think the delivery of it here is comforting.
“Do it lady,”
do what?
“all of it.
Yeah.”
So what am I saying here? Well, apart from proving that I have a TikTok addiction (see previous). I’m saying: we’re here. Let’s do it. “It” doesn’t have to be big or life-changing or world-breaking. “It” can be sitting quietly and living your life how you want to. How YOU want to.
For too long, and for too often, too many of my friends and peers have bemoaned that they’re not where the should be. Not not where they want to be. Should. According to whom? According to the world. Society. I am not saying we should all be outliers, living like banditos, off-grid whatever, whatever, whatever. I am simply saying:
Yeah.
