The Audacity of Man

~ Gottfried

If men have one thing, it’s the audacity. All too often, it is audacity and not talent that moves an artist to center stage. To succeed in life, you have to buy into your own hype. With audacity, one can undertake anything, but not do everything. I got a bad temper, a smart mouth and have the audacity to be sensitive. Don’t scold me please. If a woman calls you a “real man” just know it’s a slur.

The audacity of my brain to forget the one thing I told it to remember. What do you mean you don’t remember? I looked right at you in the mirror and told you to remember this. Anyway, now I’m at the supermarket in the babies section but I’m positive there’s no baby waiting for me at home. I pay you all this money every week and you can’t even do this one job right? Disgraceful.

If you don’t have the capacity to give, you shouldn’t have the audacity to take. A father will abandon a daughter with her mother for years and only return to collect dowry and make life hell for her husband-to-be. Like, where were you all this time? And the sheer audacity of you making all these demands. What happened to shame and self awareness?

Tact in audacity is knowing how far you can go without going too far. Hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den of corruption. And some people have the audacity to ask you to trust them when you’re still coughing up from the last time they let you drown. What’s the first thing I notice when someone approaches me? The sheer audacity!

Audacity must be on sale this week. Audacity, more audacity, always audacity. I don’t know where you got the audacity but you need to put it back. The audacity to think I’ll be nice after being disrespected. When you disrespect me, age flies out of the window and you will get the humbling you deserve. How do men carry all the audacity they have? It’s a factory setting.

Just a reminder to set boundaries. Audacity is at an all time high. My future wife is probably sending some other guy cute goodnight texts, it’s the delusion for me. The cheek, the nerve, the audacity, the gall and the gumption. When I had no roof, I made audacity my roof. You can play the same game as everyone else, or you can play your own. Here’s the word for the week…

Live your life with the audacity of a talentless hack.

  1. 🤣🤣🤣 Wow, you’re on a roll! And your “audacity” monologue has me in stitches. I love how you’ve turned an everyday concept into something hilarious and profound. I think there’s a lot of truth in what you said. Sometimes, being brave, bold, and outrageous is what gets people ahead in life. I don’t think you have a bad temper, but I do think you have a very creative mind. Thanks for the laughs! 🙃

  3. Apt Gotty! Audacity should be classified as a life hack to be honest. The only con is if you go too far with it, you start to look like a nuisance lol.
