history: Growing up, I never had a lot of money. It would make me feel pretty bad when I saw my friends with new shoes or new clothes.  I always feel so bad when I see my other friends with new clothes. I wish I could have clothes that weren't purchased at a thrift store... I don't think having designer brand is all that great.
current: It's not. I'm just tired of feeling like everyone looks so much cooler than me.
next: Why does being cool matter though? Wouldn't you rather just be yourself?
