Let me tell you something—
I had a moment. A brief, optimistic, slightly delusional moment—where I thought, “You know what? I’m going to make a swear jar.”
Growth. Maturity. Personal development.
All the things.
Yeah… that lasted about 12 minutes.
Because apparently, I don’t just occasionally swear… it’s more of a personality feature with excellent timing.
And let’s be honest—
If I had to pay for every word that slipped out of my mouth when life starts acting up?
I’d be in financial distress by lunchtime.
Bills? Paid.
Responsibilities? Handled.
Swear jar? Overdrafted.
Immediately.
See, the problem is not me… it’s the situations.
Traffic? Deserves a word.
Inconsistent people? Oh, they get a few.
Technology not working when I’m already irritated? Now we’re in premium vocabulary territory.
And don’t even get me started on people who test your patience like it’s part of their daily routine.
Respectfully… my vocabulary expands based on your behavior.
But here’s the thing—underneath the sarcasm and the occasional spicy language, I’m actually pretty self-aware.
I know when to turn it off.
I know when to be professional.
And I definitely know when to keep it cute.
But in the comfort of my own space? Around my people?
Yeah… we’re speaking freely.
Because sometimes a well-placed word just… captures the moment.
And honestly? It’s cheaper than therapy.
(Which, at this rate, I might need if I ever seriously commit to that jar.)
So no, I didn’t fail at being “more mindful with my words.”
I just realized—
I’m going to need a much higher income before I start fining myself for being this expressive.
Until then?
The jar can sit there… empty…
just like my patience for nonsense 😌
