My entire life I’ve wanted to be cool.
Most of it I haven’t been. However, I think that cool is something like puberty…or maturity…different people hit it at different times. Some people have been cool since infancy, not me. As a kid i was always out of place somehow. My hair was tangled, my clothes were mix-matched and for an entire five years my nose had outgrown my face.
I think I am catching up though. Not because I meet any sort of external standard of cool, but I am learning about me and what my strengths are and how to best use them. I am finally starting to get a little more comfortable in my own skin.
I think that’s cool.
Even though I still over analyze the artistic and social value of popular music.
How long have you been cool?
