Everything You Think You're Not....

okay, my rant time.

being cool. what does that mean to you? for most people it means being 'hip', part of the 'in' crowd, being someone who stands out from the rest, a trend setter, someone who you notice because of something unusual, in other words for most people... someone other than them. but what is it really?
answer- being yourself.
i know, i know, so many people say that, and its all about being happy with who you are and you'll be fine, blah, blah, blah, blah. but....

have you ever noticed that those who are really truly considered 'cool' are the ones who dont care what others think... who do things cause they want to not because some toothpick of a 'celebrity' in a magazine is telling them too... who really honestly doesn't give a damn... coincidence? i think not.

and i do understand where you are coming from, i have been there. reading those magazines wanting to be exactly like the models on the pages and then seeing that style and flawlessness on girls at school. hearing those people talk about how their life is perfect and when they do have troubles, wanting to be able to face it with the confidence and poise that they do. i understand wanting all of that.

but i figured it out. i can have that as well. i just had to stop worrying about how people will react to me. if i did something that i wanted to do, sure i might piss a few people off, but thats not my problem. it sounds mean, and conceited (and trust me im not like that normally) but you can't please everybody so why try?
and the more i found myself doing things for me and not trying to be like everyone else, the more people said they liked me, they though i was cool- which was a completely new concept!

so it is something your mother says when your feeling like crap, but have you ever thought that she might actually be telling the truth... just a thought.

rant over.
till next time
