Cool.
What is that? Is cool labels? Rap music? Tattoos?
Maybe it’s skinny jeans and long bangs that hang in your eyes??
Hmmm. I really don’t think I would be the one to ask, I’m probably anything but cool.
But I’m pretty sure that I know what cool is NOT. And that’s just about everyone in my generation. OK, maybe that’s a little extreme… but honestly, I think cool got lost on people my age and they started to think COOL means COLD.
It seems like everyone is trying to suppress who they truly are in order to satisfy what everyone else is thinking about them. IMPRISONING THEIR MINDS AND SOULS. Doing what they THINK instead of what they FEEL.
I’m not advocating dropping out of school and quitting your job. I know everyone has obligations. And I know there are rules to abide by. But honestly, who the hell are you? Everyone is a sell-out. Everyone sells out their personality and does exactly what you expect them to do.
What happened to ROCK? Questioning authority? Questioning the trends of society?
But more importantly, let me ask you this… Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in true love? When was the last time you told your brain to SHUT UP and just ran after what it was you wanted without thinking twice?
If you just stop for a minute and listen to YOU, shh… can you hear what you want more than anything screaming inside to be heard?? It’s there.
So do it. I dare you. That’s when you will believe in magic. And if you ask me… That’s when you will be cool.
