...so many things that you might not expect. Cool is always standing up for what you know is right even when it really stinks to; even when you know that you aren't going to be considered 'cool' by the masses (the masses have no idea what cool is by the way). Cool is looking at the world with open eyes, refusing to judge, and arguing with yourself whenever you find yourself doing just that. Cool is having open ears and using them. Listening to other people, their thoughts, opinions, and feelings, that's cool. So is knowing about music and movies and art. Cool is being willing to experience new things. Cool is knowing what makes you you, and not letting anyone tell you that you need to do something differently to make you 'cooler'. Cool is also being able to take constructive criticism about those things that even cool people know they need to work on. Cool is never thinking that you've reached a pinnacle of cool and you are all done, cool is constantly trying to be cooler.
Cool is a bit too flimsy a word to describe what I consider cool but it will have to do in this case because that was the prompt. Cool is taking important things seriously and not taking yourself too seriously. Am I cool? I got a lot of work left to do...
