Chirpys come in every different size, gender, shape and colour that you could ever imagine, and they are all over the world. But what are Chirpys exactly? The sad thing is they used to be one of us. An escapee that wanted to get out of the real world, start living in their own world and just go out and live their dreams, travel and not get sucked into the mantra that they only way to live their life is by getting a real job in the real world.
But unfortunately for Chirpys somewhere along the way, without even realising it or noticing it they gave in, they stopped trying to escape, they started to listen to the Chirpy that they had long ago learned to tune out. They gave in.
Chirpys are the worst kind of people in the world and must be avoided at all costs. Their sole goal is to make sure you become just like them, to never achieve your own escapee goals, whether it be travelling the world for years at a time, getting out of the real world or just finally going after what you want to do in your life.
Chirpys are the people who are constantly chirping in your ears, pointing out everything that could go wrong with your plans, how you’re not living in the real world and how soon enough you will come crying back to them with your tail between your legs.
Chirpys can take the face of your parents, relatives and friends. They can use emotional arguments to try and guilt you into doing what they want you to do. They are very good at what they do and sometimes they get you in their claws without you even realising it.
Their sole goal in life is to bring you down to their levels, to impose their beliefs over yours because honestly what do you know about anything. You’re just a stupid kid. Not to generalise but in my experience Chirpys are usually older, though that’s not always the case.
They don’t want you to find your dream because they never found theirs, they never had the courage to go out there and get into the world. They couldn’t do it and they had a lot more skills than you, or at least they believe they do, so why should you be able to.
A Chirpy is always finding faults and have now become so firmly entrenced in the real world that they can’t get out and can only find pleasure in snatching people who walk past into the hole with them.
If you think you have found a Chirpy, they may be someone close to you, they may be someone you don’t have a lot of contact with, it doesn’t matter, the only thing you must remember when you think you have come in contact with one of them is to remember this golden rule.
Ignore them.
That’s it. They don’t know what they’re talking about, you know it, the guy across the street knows it and secretly even they know it.
Nod politely at what they are saying, smile, walk away and delete the conversation from your brain. If you don’t say anything they will think they have converted you, which means they won’t continue to bother you and you can walk away and do exactly what you were doing before they interrupted you.
So just remember Chirpys are everywhere around the world and they take on a numerous forms but they are simply rock on the ground, step over them and continue on your escape route.
