Once upon a time, there was a person named Jeffery. He wasn’t buried until he passed away when he lived til an old age of 80, but he was already dead around 22, when he graduated college. This isn’t a new concept, but the majority still fall victim to it. The people I grew up with in high school are graduating college this year. I personally see the ‘cool kids’ who had a great social life in high school and college graduating. Most of them out of shape, the hot girls now having double chins, or rounding out. Most of them with limited goals and aspirations. (Shout out to the late bloomers who weren’t the ‘cool kids’ and are now absolute killers.) For this post by default, I categorize the ‘cool kids’ as the average Joe; average job, average salary, average experiences, average aspirations, average wife, etc.. To some that’s just fine, average seems to be more but in all of that ‘averageness’ and the point of the quote is.. The majority of these people WILL NOT truly experience life to its fullest extent. They WILL NOT leave a legacy behind that will last for more than one generation. They WILL NOT go after their dreams as they said when they were a kid. “I want to be an astronaut, I want to be a doctor”. In reality they’re making 70k a year, and just a number to a company that doesn’t care about them. And that’s their fault. And if that’s the life they want to live that’s ok. It’s easy for me to say this right now because I admit, I am in a similar position, but do not underestimate me as I am on a different path and mission. I’ve already helped young men on a micro level. I am an Eagle Scout. I was the senior patriot leader of my troop (kind of like the president, I was elected for that position by our members) I returned to my troop after many years because my brother recently was receiving his Eagle Scout as well (mama ain’t raise no bitch). 1 I wanted to be there to support him because that is important, 2 I was doing his Eagle charge (iykyk). But one thing I wasn’t expecting was for some of the young men to remember me..

No matter how masculine you are. No matter how big your arms are. No matter how strong your beard and jaw line is. Doesn’t fucking matter if you’re poor and invisible. Who cares that you pulled the 7 from your office job and now you settled down in the suburbs with a wife and white yappy dog. You’re still a loser if you aren’t rich or important. That’s the new meta. I see the people that go to my gym. They look scary, intimidating, real OGs. But they’re INVISIBLE AND POOR. So they’re not worth a DAMN to 99% of the top tier women and men in the world. Brain before biceps. Pockets before pushups.

A lot of people don’t value fashion so it’s good to see that you do. I started learning about fashion (teaching myself) 4 years ago. The hard answer is fashion is fkn hard. I tried a lot of terrible outfits, spent hundreds of hours consuming fashion content, buying clothes (thousands of dollars) / going to the mall trying them on, and staying in my room trying tons of outfit combos on. I just wanted to let you know the raw reality of it. Anyways, I learned about fashion from Pinterest (a great tool to copy with taste I found later on in my fashion career), woman (not even joking, I’ve talked w girls who have great fashion, or just anyone else who is really into fashion. They can give you great tips) trial and error tbh, a lot more, but most importantly YOUTUBE. If you want to get good at any skill in life you have to obsess over it to see progress. That means watching YouTube videos about fashion, learning color combos, accessories, and doing it irl. I can be pricey. Here’s a link of a playlist I have. It isn’t super good because it’s from like 2021. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2zHAtDR7Vay0-j4Fl-5--UtnhJ0jg1u4&si=-tH9svjuJsXF3ejJ Take always: subscribe and follow people on YouTube and Instagram, consume their content, save the vids that you like, screenshot or take pics of outfits you like, replicate their videos IRL.

Myself :) A lot of people have mentioned that I either look good (irl compliments from girls either randomly / cold approach from them, on dates, etc), other people, and more. One thing they FAILED to realize, and you do to is I’ve spent HUNDREDS of hours learning about fashion on YouTube, instagram, and people irl. I’ve spent DAYS trying on clothes at home, seeing what outfit looks good and at the mall trying new things on. I’ve spent THOUSANDS of dollars buying clothes. Wasting hundreds because the clothes suck, but finding gems while doing so. You can’t have a great outfit if you can’t go through bad ones. So, just a reminder that I’ve been learning fashion for FOUR YEARS. I used to obsess over fashion, teaching myself. That is why I get these compliments and my aesthetic is often noticed. I still am learning, but I am in a great position.
