Take Your Silver Lining and Cram It Up Your Ass

You’d think one of the worst things about being a disaster victim is dealing with FEMA. Or insurance adjusters. Or the complete devastation of your home and loss of all possessions.

But no, all that is merely frustrating.

The absolute worst thing about being a disaster victim are the people who will not shut the fuck up about looking at “the bright side”.

People. I make my living looking at the bright side. I’ve survived a murder attempt in prison and I survive the subway in New York City on a daily basis. I’m a transformational expert and motivational speaker. I teach people to look up because I know how to do it.

So don’t be telling me about that time your grandma’s basement flooded or your second cousin who had the broken sump pump. I do not give a rat’s ass. You do not know what you are talking about.

My house is a shit-show right now and I know it’s going to get better but I do NOT need someone with zero experience telling me about the silver lining.

So cram the silver lining up your butt and get back to work. You do your work, I’ll do mine.
