have you ever been around someone that feels the need to constantly be flexing every thing they do? like, just the other day, my roommate was at this hella rich kids house (daddies money, yanno how it is), & all he could talk about was who he knew. i mean, apparently the kid had some pretty popular rapper perform at his party, but still, he is only cool by association.
& often times, that’s the thing with these kinds of flex’s. they are just so weird. saying things like “i almost hooked up with three guys yesterday” is the most wack way to impress someone. like… ok? but did you? and why does that make you cool?
or in the case of the rich kid, how is flexing your parents money and connections make YOU cool? it makes your parents look sick af , though, so if that’s what you’re going for, then mission accomplished.
and, of course, i’m not saying that i haven’t tried to impress someone with the fact that i have a friend with a private jet (that i’ve never been in) or danced with a girl who has a cousin whose girlfriend’s uncle is famous (okay, i made that one up, but you get the point) or even that i went to rodeo drive (even though i couldn’t even imagine having the money to buy anything). but now that i think about it, do any of those things get me further in the world? i didn’t think so.
why don’t we try showing off our knowledge? the amount of books we have read? the miles we can run? the food we can cook well? or even the weird things, like the fact that you have slightly webbed toes or something. i would think that’s dope. so, enough with the weird flexes about loose connections, and flex the weird stuff about you!
