Sarcasm and Sanity: Navigating the Madness of 2023

Greetings, fellow world inhabitants! 🌍

Allow me to introduce myself as your trusty guide through the maze of madness that is 2023. If you’re wondering why I’m your guide, well, it’s because my sarcasm is the only thing keeping me sane in this circus we call life. And my year has required a shit ton of sarcasm.

Ah, 2023, what an interesting year you’ve been so far. It’s like you looked at 2022’s chaos and said, “Hold my beer!” Pandemics, politics, being displaced from your job of 25 years, your cat dying and other peculiar happenings galore – we’re living in a reality TV show where no one can agree on the script.

But hey, who needs a script when you have sarcasm as your trusty sidekick? It’s the perfect defense mechanism for dealing with the absurdity that surrounds us. When life throws lemons at us, we don’t just make lemonade; we roll our eyes, exchange those lemons for limes, make some killer gin and tonics and throw a party Bacchus would be envious of. 

Let’s be honest – life can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and it often feels like we’re on the wildest ride in the theme park. From Zoom meetings that never end to news headlines that make you question reality, it’s a daily struggle to keep a straight face.

So, why not embrace the chaos with a wicked grin and a well-timed eye roll? Sarcasm is our superpower, and honesty is our armor in this bizarre world. When everyone else is trying to be “Instagram perfect,” we’re here to keep it real.

In the coming days, weeks, and months, join me on my trip, navigating absurdities, with sarcasm and humor, all while staying true to myself. 

Stay with me for more witty, sarcastic, and brutally honest insights into this world that’s just one big cosmic shit show. 

Cheers to keeping our sarcasm alive! 🥃🤣🙄🤷‍♀️

An example of one of the many “I’m sorry
you were displaced, but…” messages I’ve
received in the shit show year. This one is nice.
