My Theme Song For A Significantly Less Stressful Life

Because giving no f*cks is just the best of the things.

My friends, I have a saying.

Nay, a mantra.

Nay, a theme song.

It is magnificent and perfect and I want to share it with you, because adopting this theme song is one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

May it be useful to you as well.

Introducing: Koalas In The Rain

There is a Youtuber who goes by the name of zefrank1. He makes insanely hilarious videos. Have you encountered Sad Cat Diaries? That’s him.

(If you haven’t, here you go:)

(You’re welcome).

A series he has been publishing for a number of years now is True Facts About (Insert Animal). He’s done Giraffes. Ostriches. Octopi. The Sand Bubbler Crab. And they are all, uniformly and without reserve, hilariously funny.

One of my favorite videos in this series is called True Facts About Marsupials. In it, he explains that koalas “have a smooth hind-brain, which means they did not develop the thinky-thinky bits. As a result, koalas give absolutely. zero. fucks.”

He then shows a clip of a koala sitting in a tree, in the rain. Giving no fucks about anything. And here the genius emerges.

Because at the end of the video, he includes a SONG. My own unique personal theme song (I really need to figure out how to thank him for inventing something specifically for me).

And it is called: Koalas In The Rain

Watch it here (with headphones, ‘cause language):

The Best Part Of Adulthood: Koalas In The Rain

Earlier this morning, I read a lovely article by Christina named 4 Tips To Help You Find Your Authentic Self.

The article was, as previously mentioned, lovely. It also mentioned two of the best periods in life: “carefree child” and “I don’t give a f*ck” adult.

My dudes, I arrived at Koalas In The Rain as my personal theme song when I entered that glorious phase known as “I don’t give a f*ck.” I entered it respectably early in my adult life, because when “I might die today” becomes a fucking Tuesday, you honestly stop giving anything resembling a fuck about most things.

I do not recommend this as a path of “not-giving-a-f*ck-ery” but it might be helpful to just play the song. Play it over and over (and don’t worry, you’ll remember it. It’s a hell of an earworm). And think about How. Much. Nicer. life would be if you just didn’t give a f*ck.

Go Forth And Give No F*cks

Now, I personally am not completely immune to fuck-giving. I recently was so worried about people judging me in traffic that I literally smacked myself in the head. But most small things? Meh.

Does that person think I look weird? Cool, I am weird. Points for perspicaciousness. Does dinner come out like a leeeeeettle bit wrong at a nice restaurant? Dude, as long as there isn’t hair in it, IDGAF.

Small things and (most) opinions cease to bother you when you are at this stage. I highly recommend it, it makes life immensely easier.

Cultivate your don’t-give-a-f*ck-ness, my friends.

Be a koala.

A koala…in the rain.
