Sassy

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” Naval Ravikant

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Have you ever been in a meeting or in a room and you look around and decide it would make an excellent caricature drawing? It’s some weird and absurd departure from life. A snapshot of something resembling the TV show The Office? People playing actor roles in some stupid game.

Happened to me recently. My head was pounding with a headache turning into a migraine (that sharp feeling behind the eye and the weird light). A lot more was off than just the people and energy in the room.

What makes things weirder is when people are overly serious in a moment that doesn’t merit it. Then, you get really in your head. It also makes you want to laugh. The key is to remain stoic.

In my recent experience, I kept quiet even though I was feeling sassy. I focused on breathing through my headache instead. This was despite the fact that I had walked under a “Sassy Zone” sign. Sometimes, the sassy cannot be shared. But even if it’s private sass, you are sassy nonetheless.

I don’t like playing stupid games. The prize just doesn’t do it for me.

This week in Times Square.

Stay sassy. ✨
