Only our community focuses so much on “coolness” & “swag”
Thats what I can’t stand sometimes
I remember growing up, my older sister told me to fukk what people think is cool or lame... be yourself. Thats when I stopped giving af about what people thought and did me.
I would box, play football, play basketball with the “cool” nikkas, but would still be in math class getting my paper copied off of (I was 2 grades ahead and in classes with my sister and her friends), or be in art class drawing cartoons, or be chilling with the “nerds” talking about comics, etc.
None of what people think about you matters in the real world outside of your occupation.
