What is this? I don't even.
If the point is that we are supposed to try to be interesting, then I have to disagree. If I set out with the goal of being interesting, then my success is determined by other people's perception of me. Fuck them. And fuck that. I'm successful when I feel like I'm successful. I don't need somebody else to approve of me.
I mean, sure. It's nice to have approval. And it's nice to be surrounded by interesting people. But I reject the idea of my success being determined by how entertained I can keep everyone around me.
Maybe I'm missing the point entirely.
