Rec | MY TWO CENTS ON “ONLINE PERSONA”

🧑‍🍼

how one can attain that cool persona online honestly? being relatable? posting interesting thoughts? or there must be an X factor and you can do absolutely nothing about it? i like taking spooky pictures & boring OOTD pictures, i enjoy counting numbers & making music, i love going to random gigs in the underground scene & i cannot not acknowledge my likeness to Ariana Grande’s songs tbh. i guess it’s safe to say that: attaining a cool persona online shouldn’t be the priority—but staying true to yourself and being able to use that cool persona as a tool for narrowing down the wildness of your creativity should be the ability (and priority lol) to attain for! :)

being cool, real cool.

an amazing thing about the dichotomy of attention whores is ur so in the moment abt being odd that u r making real memories for ur future self but also the self that says i enjoy the eyes and then u can look back at ur memories and know u were doing for the simulacra of screens but the simple enjoyment of those passing by- an to be a clown. to live the life of the jest u gotta commit to the bit, the bit by bit of our flesh and bones which means to mean i am saying, really being cool being a dynamic verb not a stative verb is the vibe.

step one: surrender

you’re right, it is the work of your 20s (and 30s…..and 40s….) to figure out what “cool” means and how to embody that for yourself. you’re right on schedule! I highly recommend taking the search offline almost entirely + not forcing it. think about the coolest people you actually know in person. what traits of theirs classify them this way? the more you start looking for traits you admire in the people around you, the more you’ll find yourself weaving your version of that into your life. we’re all tapestries of the people that have made us. also, you write: “i often feel far more fixated on appearing “correctly” than most” -- feelings are not facts and I can assure you that everyone else is also just as internally focused. start looking for the ways you ARE connected and similar or even the exact same as the people around you — social cohesion is the key to being cool, and there are always more similarities to be found.

avoid a micro celeb's shoes

what's shared 'privately' always appears more authentic than what's posted publicly. if you try to 1up a great man or to impress a clouted cousin, you will have to flex double the posts to outshine them. do not get lost in their story, or stuck in a boomerang not of your own making... establish your own vibe by changing the filter on your life. gain power by quirking up-- FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS will disparage the whole algorhythm. slay the heads of that viral hungry hydra and feed attention to yourself.
