10 Ways You'll Know If You're Boo Boo the Fool

A list of clown behavior that we all need to try and avoid.

My dear roses, this post is going to a little bit different than my previous ones just because I wanted to include some fun, light-hearted, dry humor. Through my words and a series of memes, I'll be describing what it means to be Boo Boo the Fool and exhibit clown behavior. I like to define clownery as actions / behavior an individual participates in where they know it's not good for them but do it anyway, thus looking like a joke. This is essentially a dragging of you all, as well as myself, because I too, have been Boo Boo the Fool on a multitude of occasions. Let's get started, shall we?

1. If you're texting them within two seconds after they repeatedly create days / week long gaps in communication for dumb reasons or no reason at all, guess what you just did?

2. If you're in a relationship / situationship where they are clearly benefiting more than you, take a look in the mirror love. This is what you'll see.

3. If you're playing the victim when you both know it was you who created discourse in the friendship / relationship...

4. Asking, "We can still be friends though, right?" when you obviously still have feelings for them and haven't healthily moved on, go ahead and put your wig on Ronald McDonald.

5. If you're talking bad about people who you deep down are jealous of and envy for God knows why... this is how they will see you.

6. If you fall out with someone and tell their personal information when they confided in you, even if you now hate their guts, welcome to your new occupation!

7. This is how you'll look texting them "One last time?" knowing it's definitely not going to be the last time.

8. If you're telling people you guys are serious, but then you hear them say y'all are just "chilling, vibing, or hanging out," that's clown activity. This is a maaaajor communication error on both parts, so don't be surprised if you start feeling like this.

9. If the only reasons they say they love you is a list of all the things that you do for them, not actually you as a person... They don't really love you boo. They love what you can provide for them.

10. After the first red flag you tell yourself, "Well, nobodies perfect." Then the second and third come along and you think to yourself, "Eh, they aren't even really that bad..." A few months later a fourth red flag pops up and you say, "I've invested so much time in them though..." More time passes and what do you know! Here comes the fifth.

I definitely had a lot more unused clown memes, but I decided that 10 was enough. If you felt attacked in any way, then it probably applies. I know this post is really just for kicks and giggles, but on a more serious note, please please please don't find yourself doing any of what I just said. I've been in about half of these situations and it always ended poorly for me. Learn to love and respect yourself enough to know that you don't deserve to be out here looking like Boo Boo the Fool! Hopefully I didn't hurt any feelings, for my more sensitive roses I apologize if I did. It's honestly a coping mechanism to make jokes out of my own past mistakes since I'm naturally hard on myself. This way, I can remind myself of how mistakes are really just learning opportunities and that I never want to be the punch line of a joke again. I'm too good for that, you're too good for that, we're all too good for that. Much love.
