When life gives you lemons, you’d better give them right back. You need to earn your lemons.
I don’t know where I was going with that. I hate that saying. I love lemons. I’d be happy if life gave me lemons. I’ve been trying to grow them for years now and nothing!
It’s all about perspective. If I was a pirate and life gave me lemons I’d probably say something akin to “Yarrghh Thank ye’ Life fer givin’ meh dees ‘ere lemons. Oi’ve ‘ad a terribl bout wit scurvy.”
arrgg..
Or if I was a lemonade selling person I’d say “Wow, thank you life for giving me 1/3 of what I need to make lemonade!”
Now if I was an orange and life gave me a lemon I’d simply be happy to see my citrusy cousin.
Lets go with some jokes…
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade( not really a joke, but it’s the classic)
When life gives you lemons, make a lemon drop… because yeah… that wasn’t really funny. I used to have a good joke that went with this.
When life gives you lemons, cut them up into tiny wedges and ask for a cocktail.
When life gives you lemons, send them back and ask for limes. It’s Corona night after all.
the same thing as above but replace corona with tequila.
When life gives you lemons, accept the fact that even life thinks you’re an alcoholic.
When life gives you lemons, stop doing drugs…
When life gives you lemons, open a lemon selling store. At least you’re making life work for you.
Next time someone says “when life gives you lemons” cut them off and say “if you don’t have any lemons on you, you can shut the fuck up right now”
I don’t know why that was so aggressive, but it was.
Anyways. Dealing with life as it happens is simply that. It’s life. Life can be painful, It can be beautiful, it can be all kinds of different things.
When life gives you potatoes. I like that better, because you can do more with a potato, but at the beginning it’s just a root. At least lemons are a fruit and colorful. Potatoes are generally ugly, but they are super useful and versatile. You can make bread, you can bake them, you can mash them, fry them, make hash browns, make soup(right? that’s a thing?) You can make booze with them, but if you don’t do anything with them they get all gross. and most of the time reheated potato based food is gross so you have to seize the moment.
I don’t know I think I’m just hungry. When life gives you life make the most of it. there. Problem solved. I’m going to drink a glass of water and stare at some clouds for the next 30 minutes. Have a wonderful evening.
