Just Be Yourself, Damn It
I'm tired of people acting tough, "street", gangster, hard, cool, and smart. I'm tired of listening to people put on a "street accent" to make themselves appear different from others. I'm tired of having to talk to one person for a few hours before the façade starts to disintegrate.
What's the common theme here? Acting, acting, acting. Don't act yourself out, it's only another layer of illusion I have to pull back to see who you are.
The ones who act like they came from the streets almost certainly had the least time there. The ones who act the most different are all the same.
You want to be different? Don't act different.
