I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said exactly that, "I Used to be Cool." I laughed out loud and tried to get a photo of it, but traffic was moving too fast for me to do that.
Later, I thought maybe there is a website or some campaign for that bumper sticker. Yes! There is.

While I am not promoting this website or even this campaign, it made me think about life, our lives, and thought about what we have been through. What has changed us? Who were we, and who are we now?
I used to be too thin, and very busy with making a living and supporting myself and my family. I had a period of time during college of loving to go to bars, listen to music and dance. I never could drink much because it made me sick. College days were the best days of my life, and when I was a young adult, living in an apartment with a couple roommates. Part of what made me cool was sewing most of my own clothing, sometimes even designing clothing for myself and having complete strangers stop me and ask me where I bought this or that.
But really, I am not sure that I was that cool. How about you? How were you cool?
