Because I can

Reasoning my own actions for the people around me is one hell of a job. And it requires patience (something I really lack). “Why do you carry a water bottle with you?” “I need water.” “Why?” “It’s good for my body and skin.” “What’s wrong with your skin?” ” Nothing.” “So why do you carry that bottle with you then?” *sigh* “Because I can”.
“Because I can” is an equivalent of ‘I am sexy (=awesome) and I know it’. Arrogant, right? Right. When I first heard this saying I thought the guy was arrogant and full of himself. Actually he was and I liked that about him. Being able to do things just for yourself, just because YOU want it and can do it. I envied that. Growing up with all the DOs and DONTs I sort of forgot how to live just for myself. But then I learned the basic principles of Because I can.
Adults don’t get it, but youngsters always cheer my Because I can. “Why the f… did you spend 4 hours baking some cake?” “I like baking.” “Bake something simplier.” “I wanted to try out that recipe”. “Why this one?” Screw this… “Because I can. Because I can. Because I can.”
Because I don’t need a reason for doing things I like. I don’t need a reason for doing things. Period.
And tomorrow I am gonna spend an unreasonable amount of money on something I don’t need but really want. Because I can.
