Unemployment

Unemployment isnt a comfortable life, even for people who get benefits. Theres something essential about having a steady job, theres a reason most people would rather work than be unemployed with benefits for an extended time, and many would rather go to work than work from home. Having a job gives a lot of people a sense of being a part of something outside their family, or what's at home, it's not something that can be replaced. Most of the people who are unemployed and getting benefits aren't living that way because it's what they wanted to do since they were kids, they live that way because the business they worked for shut down.

He/she wouldn't choose unemployment as a way of life, but it was his/her current circumstances.

Change

If someone has reached the age of 35, or 50, or 90, and hasn't changed, they don't have to change. It's never too late to remain yourself without changing anything.

If someone has reached an age of 35, or 50, or 90, and they like who they are, they don't have to listen when somebody says they need to change, or that it's never too late to change, especially when it's coming from somebody who has no answers they don't.

Poodle girl

A girl that has a bubbly, poodle-like energy.

Even when throwing the egg at the dude and saying screw you, the poodle girl that didn't curse came off as poodle-like. Like a poodle trying to act tough instead of being herself, a poodle girl. If you stood up to the mouthy poodle girl, it was rare that she did anything, and if she did, it was harmless.

Sucker

Seeing good that was never really there in someone isn't being a sucker, and it isn't weakness.

The guy felt like a sucker, but he wasn't a sucker. Foolish is someone who thinks kindness is passive and weak. An unkind person doesn't change into a kind person, people don't really ever change. They are who they were when they were born.
