I’m not cool

I’m not sure if that’s really a breakthrough. I’m not sure it’s really anything. I’ve always known that. But sometimes you really need to unleash your inner dork, and I feel like I don’t do that enough.

Everyone has the little voice inside them that tells them they want to be liked. It’s a good voice. But sometimes we forget that it DOESN’T take work. Sometimes we overthink things, and don’t realize the best way to be liked is to be that inner dork.

As somebody with over 100 pez dispensers, I will never be able to bring coolness to any room. Awesome. There’s nothing cool about me, and I don’t embrace that enough. So whatever you can do to bring out the uncoolness, do it. It’s worth it.
