younger kids who are cooler than us.

Oh how much we hate them, it's this perverseness which is one part admiration and two parts jealousy.


When we were your age we were wallowing in our hate for everything, being fat and working out what life was. We didn't have time to be cool.


It's not only that you have great style, you also have a good taste in music, know who you are, are creative, intelligent, and generally productive in life. Were you even ever bullied!? We got the cool knocked out of us and we had to build it up again over a long period of time with never ending barriers. Fuck you for being so resiliently amazing so young!


It's terribly hard but we have to overcome all kinds of shame and recognise you did life better than us and probably always will. How? HOW?! My darlings, congratulations, you managed it all. (we are allowed to recognise your coolness and still hate you)



P.S.
Photo babies: we're sorry we ransacked your facebooks and stole your amazing pictures. You people are truly too cool for school. The kids we speak of are younger than you, but we don't have kids that age as facebook friends because that would be creepy.


salome: 'seriously cathy, younger kids that are cooler than us makes me depressed.'
