Cool or Not?

This is just going to be a fun blog, a little thought provoking with maybe even a little under-laying meaning. The theme is “what makes you happy”. When you think about the things you enjoy in life, things that make you happy, can you share them all without feeling less than “cool”? Do you have secret passions like a person, food, or form of entertainment such as a band, song, movie, TV show, etc., shopping indulgences, favorite junk-food treats, or trashy paperbacks you hide behind your novels. You know, those things that we truly enjoy but may be a little embarrasses to share with another.

When you are out with your friends, co-workers, or even with family and they start trash talking one of your secret passions, do you pretend you don’t like it as well and then the first thing you do when you get home is get a passion fix out of guilt of trashing it? However, seriously, is pretending to not like something you secretly love “cool”. I mean, really, if you like something, you like it, plain and simple. Your friends may make fun of you for it but if something makes you happy, then it doesn’t really matter. This goes for anything, from clothing (yes, I may shop at Wal-Mart from time to time and could live in sweat pants!), TV shows (“The Golden Girls” and “Rosanne” rule), music or movies.

If you are confident in yourself as a person then you are confident in knowing that there is nothing wrong with having your own taste. You know it is perfectly fine being different from your friends, co-workers, and even family and a big part of what makes you who you are! So be different. Have your own tastes, be your own person, and be proud! So, what are some things that make you happy that other may poke fun at?
