One of the hardest parts of growing up is the first time you learn that you are older than an athlete that you admire. You sit there for a moment dumbfounded and unable to wrap your head around how you could respect someone who isn’t older than you are. That goes against everything the education system taught you. Seniors rule!
Eventually you’re able to reconcile with this fact because at the end of the day those athletes have talent and genetics that you couldn’t even fathom. But nowadays, because of the internet, random ass kids are becoming famous for like talking or something.
Malala. Greta Thunberg. And this one kid named Mo who went on Shark Tank to pitch his haberdashery business Mo’s Bows and has since been a mortal enemy of mine.
First off kids, what the hell? Money and fame are limited and if you’re taking some then there’s less for me!?
Second, I’m not impressed. I can do what you guys do. I can have a cause and champion it. I can start my own haberdashery business. I’m just so busy because I’m an adult and I have an actual job. Being a famous kid is actually cheating if you ask me. No shit you have time to save the world, you don’t have a job. Get a job with a shitty boss and then let’s see if you really feel like making the world a better place or if you’d prefer everyone just continue to live in misery.
Third, chill. Like go play soccer or Fortnite. Like don’t you have Snapchat? Probably not. No one with snapchat has ever been successful except for the dude that literally invented the app and he at least waited until the ripe age of 21.
