Marching to the Beat of My Own Drum

PROMPT May 11th

What was cool when you were young but isn’t cool now? Is there anything that has become cool in recent years that wasn’t cool in your youth?

I wasn’t one of the “cool” kids. I didn’t like what others liked, and I guess took a certain pride in that. My clothes weren’t trendy, the music I liked was classical or jazz, and I would rather stay in my room reading than be out and about in a car cruising mindlessly. So don’t ask me what was cool. I was out of the loop, living in my own little safe world.

And now, how will I know what is popular if I wasn’t aware when I was fifty years younger? I just decided in the past few years what I am comfortable wearing and doing.

Ask my sister. She was the “cool” one.
