The #1 rule of being cool is to seem unfazed.  To never admit that something scares you, impresses you, or excites you.

Somebody once told me that it’s like walking through life with your hands up, guarding your head, and blocking your face.  You protect yourself from all of the unexpected miseries or hurts that might show up.

But I try to walk through life with my arms out and open.

Yea, that means catching all of those miseries or hurts.  But it also means that when something beautiful or amazing falls out of the sky then I’m there to catch it.
