13 ‘In Your Face’ Quotes I Made Up Myself

Because aren’t we all tired of the old boring cliche ones?

I’m a bit of a quotes whore but with good reason. I run a Facebook page where I create and share oodles and oodles of memes and inspirational quotes posters.

So ya, quotes are kinda my jam.

I’ll be honest here, I do share an awful lot of quotes from famous people like Buddha and Dalai Lama. They’re pretty powerful and effective. They get the message across.

But every now and then I like to write my own. Ok, I’ll be honest again, it’s nice to see other high authority pages sharing your poster that happens to have your name on it.

Call me vain 🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Sometimes we need tough love

You know, when I was down and out and going through a horribly rough patch in my life I would read all these inspirational quotes until my eyes bled. They truly helped me get out of rock bottom and inspired me to rebuild my life.

But every now and then we need someone in your face saying “will you just fucking snap out of it already”?

Ya. I needed quotes like those and I was hard pressed to find them. I needed someone to just take me by the shoulders and shake the crap out of me to get me out of my funk.

Anyway, I couldn’t find any, no one shook me till my brains rattled.

Once my Facebook page (and my website) gained some decent traffic, I started writing some of my own quotes.

The ‘in your face’ ones. And people loved them. Oh!

I’m just filling a need

There clearly was a need for those ‘smarten up’ quotes so I just kept on writing more and more.

I gotta tell ya though. They aren’t for everyone. I had one girl chew me out on my page and shout at me “clearly you’ve never been a victim”.

Oy…girl. You have no idea.

So, ya. Sometimes these quotes hurt. People don’t like to hear the truth or at least, they aren’t quite ready to hear it.

Thank God for the rest of the peeps who need them, crave them, shout “Hell-ya” when they read them.
