Twisted Life Lessons from Netflix’s, Orange
is the New Black
1. You
may think you're special, but the world will show you differently in a million
ways. Also, beauty will only get you so far, as will being smart –
You have to get along with people to survive in the world.
2.
Find your tribe, wherever you go. Your tribe is your other family, especially
in trying situations. They'll protect you, encourage you and keep you safe, usually.
3. Everyone
needs a mother; especially when things get difficult, but don't have sex with
your mother, or she may kill you.
4. Nothing
is free. Whether you pay in dollars, postage stamps or Jolly Ranchers, there's
a price for anything of value, even if it smells of horse manure.
5. If
you cheat on your fiancé', he'll double down and cheat on you with your best
friend. Be faithful and loyal, even when incarcerated with your ex-lover.
6. She
who rules the kitchen rules the world. Also, keep knives out of the hands of
little children and felons.
7. Dancing
is always a good idea and an effective way to bring people together. So dance
you ass off.
8. One
date does not a relationship make. Be reasonable about your expectations from
men you meet, and don't threaten their lives for date #2. No man is worth
prison time.
9. Protect
the weak, because they cannot protect themselves.
10. Sexy
is as sexy does; or overdoes, in this case.
11. Old
ladies are bad ass. Don't get in their way or you may get shivved in the kidney.
12. You
can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes... well, you know the
rest.
13. Sometimes
it's better to just not say anything, ever.
14. Money
can't buy you love, and it's not easy to learn Russian.
15. Cancer
sucks, even for bank robbers. Make every last moment killer!
