LOL Clinique Happy & Dillards 😂! All the feels! Yeah, I too feel judged by the other kindergarten moms at dropoff (mainly bc I’m dressed in head to toe black and they’re in “mom chic leggings” and saying nice goodbyes while I’m telling mine bye at the gate and not walking in 😬).

I found myself nodding, over and over again. The feeling of un-coolness in high school, observing those perfect girls. Nodding when you describe school drop off & those cool moms & how I, too, just feel like I’m on a separate plane more often than not. And nodding when I watch my little ones, fear creeping in that they might feel “other” someday. It’s like currency, so true, and so relative. I entertain myself by thinking, maybe I seem cool to some fellow mom (as I hide my messy hair w sunglasses whether it’s sunny out or not ha). Who knows. And who cares. But damn, thanks for this. I felt every word. Cheers to you, one really cool lady/mom in my book xo
