Stop worrying about what jokes and references are currently the funniest and not ācringeā. Donāt give into every microtrend because capitalism praises those who continue to buy. If a trend helps you discover something you like, thatās amazing, but discover who you are rather than sloppily tying your identity to something that will be worthless in a week.

Love this! You won't find your identity in the things that you own. You can have a room full of empty canvases but you're not an artist until you paint.

i think now more than ever, we live in a society where it is normalized to judge others for not following the ātrendsā or āsocially acceptableā things, which has become a big problem for the coming generations. i think people should be their unique, authentic, selves and shouldnāt be afraid of such, because who actually cares ? i mean, yeah, people will probably judge you for it and say rude things, but people will do that anyways, so why not have them say it about something YOU know you love. as long as you know that you like it, then it shouldnāt matter what that one girl thinks about it, because at the end of the day, itās just someoneās opinion, not an actual truth. if you wanna dress all funky and different, do it !! and do so with confidence .

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself ā even if it means you're 'uncool'.

I read a TikTok slideshow about how we attach our personalities to the things we buy like Labubuās, matcha, vintage clothing, etc., etc. and it really woke me up. It made me realize how often we treat objects like identity badges, hoping theyāll somehow communicate who we are to the world. But maybe we donāt need to buy a personality. Maybe itās okay to just be you without the aesthetic, without the branding, without needing to āmatchā a vibe.
The phrase āto be cringe is to be freeā has been living rent-free in my head, and honestly, it resonates. Because at the end of the day, who really cares what other people think? Okay, I do sometimes. Iām human. But when I quiet the noise, I know the truest version of myself isnāt curated, itās just me. Messy, weird, sincere. And I think thatās enough.
Weāre not the sum of what we consume. Weāre allowed to just exist, unbranded, unfiltered, and still whole.
I think Iām not my truest self yet, but Iām getting there and I really do hope my truest self reflects beautifully to the people around me.
