If the people I know in my lifetime can think of me after I die and smile, then I believe that my life had some meaning to it.

At some point we all experience the feeling of emptiness. A state where you feel empty inside almost like your hollow. It is a similar leaving feeling to having no one else around you, being alone. We all look for ways to escape it, but it is not easy. The way to improve our feeling of insignificance is to replace it with having a purpose. We thrive to live meaningful lives. We make an attempt to matter. Where we do good, where we live with no regrets, and live in each moment, where we are to be thankful for what we have, to reach our goals, and make impacts on other peoples lives and to never be forgotten.

People need to feel important. They need to obtain some form of acknowledgment, to know that someone’s got your back, to know you are not completely alone. To get a sense of value it helps to feel valued by others. Simply being valued in someone else’s eyes. Then what it all comes down to is defining yourself, defining yourself as an individual. Having other people take an interest in you. Be cool. Something that sounds a lot easier than it all actually seems. From the moment of birth we are drowned with expectations. By a society that dictates the changing culture of cool. Said by Stephen R. Covey a Author and speaker from the 19th century; “Your attitude determines your altitude.” The value you have depends on the ideas you have. It about what you do with the resources you have. A person who’s cool has an attitude, it seems like everything else is based off that. Here: in this world, when a person thrives to be cool, to feel important there are things you have to know. Cool is a hard word to define. There are many contradictions. The society we live in tells us a person who is cool, does not really care, or at least pretend they don’t. They try but they try without showing it or trying to hard. What lengths will people go in order to be cool? We all want to feel valuable and do so by feeling cool. To fill the empty space, and the feeling of being alone people thrive to be cool. But In the end we are living generally the same live following expectations. Just hoping to add some importance to our existence.

We conform to those we look up too. We are drawn to the other people we are most like. Just to escape the fear of being alone.
