It’s been about a year and a half since I decided to be jerk-free. That just means that I made a decision to disallow people with different values than mine from affecting my life. As soon as I decided to avoid people who make me feel bad, and surround myself with people who are honest, sincere, loyal, and non-superficial, the quality of my life shot up many times over. I stay away from jerks, and jerks don’t affect me…Funny how that works, huh?

I was writing down some information from a website recently, and took a look at my handwriting. I never thought handwriting could naturally change in mature adults. But in this particular case, I carefully looked at what I wrote and notice that my handwriting looked vastly different than it did 2 years ago. I decided to write other stuff down just to see more of this difference, and concluded that my handwriting is consistently different from a few years back. I didn’t notice it before because I mostly type everything. Now, I see my handwriting appears more curvy, the ink pressure is more light, and my fingers flow more smoothly over the paper. It’s as if I was different person writing.

Sound too far-fetched that my jerk-free life has changed my handwriting? Nope. Think about it. Your body behaves differently when you are stressed, or not at ease, than when you are relaxed and happy. Why wouldn’t your handwriting be different? I remember trying to write my name after 2 hours of kickboxing training where I bashed my hands against targets all night. I couldn’t write the word “Van” without the trembles and jaggedness showing up like the signature of a 3 year old. My normal handwriting back then wasn’t as bad as that, but there was definitely more ink pressure, more jagged loops, and more inconsistent baselines. I now believe it was all signs of impatience, anger, frustration, and discontent. That was when I let jerks roam free in my life….Funny how that works, huh?

You heard of people breaking out in rashes when they’re aggravated, or not being able to sleep when they’re wrestling with an emotional issue? Handwriting…the same! It may sound insignificant to many, but it’s proof positive of a happy life. Become jerk-free today and lose the jerks in your life. Why deal with them? There is a happy life waiting for you beyond their veil of frustration. Some guy tell you he loves you but can’t be with you when it counts?…BUH-BYE…Someone tells you you’re over reacting?…GET LOST…A buddy laying a guilt trip on you?…I’M OUTTA HERE…Your man hinting that he’d like you more if you were different in just this way?…INSECURE BIMBOS ARE IN THE OTHER BUILDING. Stop associating with dick-wads and you’ll soon discover bad handwriting and ailments in your life will magically disappear.
