50 Unproven and Unrealistic Things Most Women Would Probably Be Great At
A dose of delusion never hurt nobody.
“When we’re stuck in our mundane we forget to indulge in our delusions.”
This was the theme of my last post, Dog Days of I Don’t Wanna, where I described going for a run, deciding to walk 4 minutes in, and then going for ice cream instead. It was a reminder that we can play hooky and when we do, we gain back autonomy.
The tech hunch, blue light retina burn, and busy boredom pile-on is exactly what clouds our view. Sometimes, we have to do something different to gain a new perspective and remember our freedom of choice.
And in that, I thought it best to compile a list of the unrealistic and unproven things that I think I’d be great at. Moreover, the things that I think most women think they’d nail. It’s a reminder that we can do whatever the hell we want (especially if we can get our hands on a double dose of male delusion).
