Hello.
Something that I, and probably you have struggled with our whole lives is thinking that other people are cooler than us.
It's human.
It's natural.
Seeing someone on social media, seeing someone across the room at a party, and thinking, God, why are they so much cooler than me?
It's just a part of life.
But recently, I have come to the conclusion that I actually don't think anyone is cool.
I don't think anyone is that cool.
I think that some people are just better than others at creating an illusion that they're cool.
I actually might argue that the concept of coolness that we've all been living by our whole lives is a lie.
I think that the idea of coolness that we have in our heads is completely fake.
I would argue this, and here's why.
Because over the past few years, I've had a similar experience time and time again where I'll see someone on social media and I'll follow them or keep up with them for a little bit of time.
You know, maybe it's a year, maybe it's a few years, maybe it's only a few weeks.
I'll keep up with what they're doing.
And based on their instagrams, I'll start to think, wow, like, they are so cool.
Like, they're so much cooler than me.
They have cooler style than me.
They do cooler stuff.
They have cooler friends.
