To Another Young Student

“…You know, about what you said about not being cool enough to be in a band, don’t count yourself out too quickly. No one is really cool at 13, and those who seem like it have an unfortunate tendency of peaking early and becoming less cool with time.

“People decide around your age to start bands and to become cool, and it’s that determination that–lo and behold–leads to them actually becoming amazingly cool. So savor your frustrations now for the fuel they will provide you towards future success.”
