Everyone uses the term, but does anyone know what the definition is? I once asked this on a forum. Here was the immediate reply:
Not having a life = me
Let me ask you:
What makes you think you don’t have a life?
I know it’s just an expression, but take it literally. If you didn’t have a life, you would be DEAD.
A depressed person could say: “Oh, but I feel dead on the inside”
Is this your personal definition?
Or is it just another way of saying:
“There is nothing interesting happening in my life right now”
or
“Life sucks”
or
“I am not proud of where my life is at the moment”
Are you ashamed of your life?
WHY???
Is it because of the way you dress,
the way you look?
What about the way you act?
The things you do?
Do you spend a lot of time doing a certain thing when you “should” be doing other things?
Is “not having a life” just another way of saying “My schedule is currently greatly focused on one particular thing”
Even if it is…
Who said that was a bad thing?
I bet you can’t think of who said that was a bad thing, can you?
Even if you are someone who uses “I have no life” in a light hearted way, take a moment to appreciate all the good you have done in the world, the little things that make people smile. Imagine how crap someone’s day would have been if you hadn’t been there at that specific time and place!
Think of those you make laugh, or even fake it (we can tell if you do, you know!).
At least they’re trying to make you feel welcome.
At least they’re trying to make the world a better place, too.
Be proud of who you are and what you do, because you deserve everything you could possibly set your sights on.
Big hugs and love
Wynter
