Announcement

I’m entering a new chapter in my life and I’m really excited to share it with everyone. Ready? The next phase of my life is….

Not giving a fuck.

Let me clarify what this means. It does not mean that I am giving up on my dreams and life ambitions. Quite the opposite actually. Basically, I don’t care what anyone thinks about me, tells me, or how they try and make me feel. I’m going to do what makes me happy even if it doesn’t match up to your “image” of who I should be. I have to live with myself so nothing anyone says is going to stop me from growing up and being happy.

It’s quite liberating entering into this new era. Like right now, my face is breaking out. Usually that would send me into a spiral of negative degrading thoughts about myself and how awful I am and blah blah blah. Instead, I ate a bag of family size peanut M&Ms even though I know my face is breaking out because I consume too much sugar. And guess what? I enjoyed every single morsel of those chocolate goddesses and haven’t even thought about pimples. Because I don’t care. Every state of being is temporary and not worth the stress of me thinking it’s the end of the world.  

I also didn’t shower before work. I was going to get up, shower and come in early and then realized I would rather sleep than be clean today. And I really don’t care if people think my hair is dirty or I look homeless. My work gets done no matter what shampoo timeframe is in my life.

I’ve also been watching Chris Farley, Dana Carvey, and Kristen Wiig videos while going through work. It’s literally been the only thing keeping me sane today. Every moment I’m alive is another realization that comedy is my calling and love. It’s beginning to be the only reason I get out of bed. That and I have to usually pee.

The best part of Not Giving a Fuck, I’m taking any opportunity, no matter where it is. I’m not going to say no to many things. I’m sick of doing what everyone says I should do and being crippled by guilt laid on me.

So life and universe, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Alexa Hansen and you are about to become my bitch.
