Ladies, Damon Salvatore is a legendary character. He’s the lead character of The Vampire Diaries series, the perfect treat of bad-to-good and good-to-bad, the man we’d all kill or get killed to be with and the person who has taught us a great lot about life.

Here I have got some of the most worthwhile hacks we can all steal from him to make our lives a bit easier – the Damon way! Enjoy!

1. TIME: When you’re too scared that the good things might end just too soon

Now this is a real troubling question that keeps most of us concerned – TIME! Oh yes, there’s always so much to do and so little time to do it in. You want to accomplish so much, have a lot of fun, and make your dreams come true, but can the limited hours in the day ever be enough?

Is this a helpless problem? No! So, follow the footprints of Damon Salvatore – find yourself a hot-hot vampire and let eternity be the limit! Problem solved.

2. FAMILY: How to strengthen the bond with your brother

Oh yes, about that… Have you ever noticed how lovers try to win back the attention of their partners by making them a little jealous? Well, voila! You got a brother to bond with, what could be a better way to have it done than by sharing a girl? I mean I can understand Katherine and Elena, but really, Damon has even done it with Stefan’s blast from the past Barbie Michelson and his lover-to-be, our Barbie Forbes, as well. Hasn’t it gotten them a bonding? Well, sure, why not!

3. CRAPPY SITUATIONS: When odds are not in your favor – bite it!

Hallelujah folks! This is my best ever Damon hack that doesn’t just promise but also guarantees you a happier life. It works wonders like no other. This is just what all of us love about Damon; he’s bold, confident in his own skin, and knows just how to make the sufferings of life more bearable. Ahh… that humor, those “judgy-little-eyes,” and that killer Damon smile. It’s his perfect way to get back at the lemons of life.

4. TRUST: When life is tough and you gotta do what you gotta do… you can trust nobody but yourself!

Well, jokes apart, this is probably one of the deepest life hacks of all time. Expectations get you heartbroken, trust gets you betrayed, attachment gets you screwed, and it’s only ‘trusting yourself’ that lets you survive! I say, let’s take this page from the Damon Salvatore diary and start getting a well-deserved share of happiness by trusting nobody but ourselves. Imagine, you won’t have anybody to blame for your troubles or take credit for your accomplishments. Now, that’s how to live!

5. HAVING YOUR WAY: Don’t sulk, just threaten your way out of everything

Well, what can I say? Damon Salvatore is one sexy delight and definitely knows how to make his way through the world. Be it standing brave against the antagonists or bending his own twisted ways to love, he can make anything happen! Just some Damon-special threats and some irresistible smolder, and nothing is impossible! 😉

6. ESCAPE: When the city starts getting the better of you, just hit the road!

We all don’t have time and we all have too much pressure on our little shoulders. So, when your hectic workdays start sucking the lively spirit out of you, don’t you worry folks – our dreamy Damon has just the solution for you. Call shotgun and hit the road with your partner! Yes, it’s only natural that we get sick of the monotony at times, and there’s no better way out of it than a perfect little escape. You can go on a self-helping trip not far from where you are right now. Do try!

7. EXCUSE: Be too hot to ever be blamed and charm your way out of trouble

And this, my friend, works every single time. Here’s a secret – that’s exactly how some of us girls get away with anything and everything we do. Be it our fault or yours, you’ll always be the one who will have to apologize, because… we’re too cute to be sorry! And this works even better when our beloved Damon Salvatore has his devilish side up. He’s just so hot and sizzling that even his lethal and scary ways do nothing but turn us on! The awesomeness of being an eternal stud comes in handy, don’t you think?

8. MOVES: To forget the troubles of the day and get some good time with the girls

If you have followed the series with even a little thought, the magic of his moves will have taken your breath away as well. Be it getting a happy life or scoring a happy time of love, Damon has proven that dancing always works. The unforgettable ‘rage-rebound’ move with Vickie, the beyond-imagination pairing with Elena on many different occasions, and even the little grooves with Lexi or Rebekah – it got him some every single time!

9. SHARE IT: Nothing can keep you going better than a buddy you can be yourself with

This one’s a gem of a hack that our badass vampire crush gave us: befriend a true friend (especially if he is your former arch enemy). Jokes apart, it’s really, REALLY important to have someone in your life with whom you can be yourself and not feel ashamed about it. Someone who makes you happy, comfortable, and a better person overall. Someone who stays by your side even at the stupidest of moments. Yes, Alaric, you and Damon are one true kickass team that we all admire and envy!

10. ENEMIES or COMPETITION – Snap! Snap! Snap! Lights out and trouble no more

Now this is the only Damon Salvatore specialty that made it impossible for me to restrain the wish to become a vampire myself. If there’s someone who goes one-on-one with him or even pisses him off, he can just put an end to the nuisance with just one crushing snap of the neck. He can get rid of his enemies for good with his superhuman strength, and we like to at least imagine a time when we can also do that.

11. ULTIMATE RESCUE: Whenever you’re stuck with difficult choices… The bourbon rescue works every time!

Well, Mr. Sexy Salvatore, this is one hack that most of us already use in our lives as well. Bourbon, Scotch, Vodka, Rum, and Gin – anything… anything at all, just bring it on. This liquid courage not only helps us forget the present but also makes our future a blur as well.

12. REGRETS: Never ever be sorry for something you do! NEVER!

Well friends, Damon or not, this is the life mantra you have to follow. Follow your heart, do whatever you want to, and never look back with regrets, no matter what happens. For one thing, the past is the past and you can’t change that. You do have a future where you can focus your energy on, though. Also, if doing whatever you did made you happy, then you owe it to that happiness to not regret it now! Cheers!
