Plaisir Coupable
GUILTY NO MORE
Tell me, what do you desire among anything else in this life? Tell me, what do you want or anything in this world? What is your deepest and darkest desire? When you close your eyes what do you see?
The urban dictionary says guilty pleasures are those things we shouldn't like, but we like anyway. In the contrary I believe that these are the things we do but we don't want to share or talk about to anyone. If we really like doing the things we love, we shouldn't feel guilty doing it, right?
On May 01, 2009, CNN did a story entitled We men don't have 'guilty' pleasures. As stated in that article, for men, “obsessions are points of pride, not shame.” As for The BOLDE who created an article 8 Guilty Pleasures That Women Will Never Admit To 11 months ago, women thinks "guilty pleasures don’t make them any less strong, intelligent independent, or successful. These guilty pleasures don’t belittle them or make them any less equal than men. Sometimes, these guilty pleasures just happen. And that’s nothing to be ashamed of".
In this blog, I wanted everyone to realize that your guilty pleasures are just plain desires that you think if everyone finds out they will judge you that you are outrageously weird. Guilty pleasures are things that feel so satisfying, we just overlook their gross factor and because of lack of social acceptance. After the jump, here are the top guiltiest of all pleasures not just for women but also for. men.
1. Google stalking an ex!
It’s inevitable that right after a major heartbreak we still can not move on immediately. They said that if you really love that someone it takes 15 months before you finally moved on. Isn't it too cliche?
2. Trying on old clothes that we wish we could wear, but no longer fits!
Though we don’t like to admit it, we still have some pair of pants, shorts, tees and dresses in our closet that we still keep even though it looks like our baby brothers/sisters stuff.
3. Getting hit on even though we're in a relationship!
(Insert Sound of silence!!!)
I know this sounds really evil but hey it’s so fun to take that lame gift and pass it on. No need to feel guilty because the person you gave it to will probably pass it on too! Quits?
5. Sleeping late without being interrupted!
Oh my... I can no longer remember when was the last time I was able to commit this thing. Do you still remember that kind of feeling? Back then, I didn’t realize how indulgent that was.
6. Stealing fluffy pillows, shampoos, conditioner, lotion, etc. from luxurious hotels!
You! Yes, you! Don’t lie; you know you’ve done it too. Indeed it is against the law but heck who cares, right? Just don't let them caught you.
7. Selfie before eating!
Head-shot? I know you're doing it and for sure your friends are your accomplice. I am guilty as charged too. No worries, most people does.
8. Calling in sick on a beautiful Friday!
Cough! Cough! Cough!
9. Posting a hot picture of yourself on Facebook and secretly hoping your ex sees it!
Crossing fingers! #iamdoingthisformyself #itsnotmylost #ihopehe/sheseesthis. You're kidding, right?
10. Drinking because trying to forget someone!
Seriously? How can you forget him/her by just drinking? You're just wasting your time and money. But hey I am doing it too. So screw it!
"I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If you enjoy something, there's nothing guilty about it" - Busy Philipps.
Pleasure may come from illusion but happiness can come only of reality. If you like doing it then just do it. Besides, only yourself can tell if it's worth it.
