I'm so fucking bored with vanilla marketing.

I'm so fucking bored with vanilla marketing.
Why are you putting neutrality on a pedestal, as if it's moral higher ground. Cause it's not.
What would the world be like if we all were vanilla? Nice. Sweet. Plain. Everyone knows what to expect from vanilla.
We also need rocky road, pistachio, strawberry, chocolate chip, and caramel syrup and chocolate syrup and whipped cream, all kinds of nuts and a cherry on top!
And let's not forget about the wild flavors with 80 million different things going on with names like "late night TV" and "cookie dough brownie caramel surprise swirl with waffle cone chunks with a strawberry raspberry sorbet ribbon" 🤣
Listen Linda, you get to BE YOU.
If you are people-pleasing vanilla, making sure that everything you say is perfectly neutral and palatable, you are hiding your gifts from the world. Such a shame.
Does everybody like "caramel-coated strawberry nuggets with chopped caramel apples in a fluffy pistachio swirl?"
Nope.
But those that do are going to want buckets of it. Because it's unique, and they can't find it anywhere else. They will literally gorge upon the goodness!
And because of all this boring neutrality, nobody knows how to have opinions anymore, and no one else knows how to accept other people's opinions.
So go out there and say what you want to fucking say because guess what, there are people out there that are going to hate you no matter what.
Be wild.
Be poignant.
Be sassy.
Be funny.
Be rebellious.
Be bossy.
Be pensive.
Be free.
Be sexy.
Be coy.
Be bold.
Be bright.
Be chill.
Be a hustler.
Be angry.
Be sad.
Be frustrated.
Be vibrant.
Be still.
Be boisterous.
Be silly.
Be serious.
The real you is pretty fucking rad.
