Let Your Enemies Write Your Obit!

Meet my evil, Tarot reading twin Veronica! Feeling lost? In need of some good advice? Well, you’ve come to the wrong place. Veronica loves nothing more than telling other people how to live (and ruin) their lives in spectacular fashion. So take her advice. If you dare…

I was reading an obituary the other day that filled me with despair and sadness. Not because the person I was reading about had died and was missed by loved ones but by how this person was described.

The deceased was described as being a “nice person” who “always put others first” and “only had good words to say” and was “loved by everyone.”

Which got me thinking…if your going to spend what little time you have on this Earth being polite, smiling all the time and not talking shit about everyone, what’s the point?

The card I drew today was The Rebel (aka The Emperor) from the Osho Zen Tarot. What do you think might be in his obit?

More importantly, what will be in yours?

The Rebel advises you to go your own way and forge your own path. This might mean you break some rules or piss a few boring people off. Or not. Depends on what your “path” asks of you.

Perhaps your “path” is to sip tea and play with kittens and take naps and read steamy romance novels while eating raspberry cream cheese muffins.

Fuck. Now I’m hungry.

I guess what I’m saying is what do you want to be remembered for? Are you doing that right now? Or are you doing something else?

I don’t even know the answer to that myself, so don’t feel bad if you don’t either. But I do know this – I’m going to get my enemies to write my obit. Why? Because it will make for a more interesting read than anything my friends and family could come up with!

If YOUR enemies wrote your obit, what would it say? Tell me in the comments below!
