the "it" factor

what makes those people we percieve "cool" and cool? what is it that those people have that make you take a double take, trying to simply take in their essence as you pass them in the mall or halls of school, or make you constantly creep them on facebook or even think about them in various situations and ponder what they would do/say/act/feel. what is it that those people have? it's more than a beautiful face, a killer pair of shoes, some extrodinary talent or rich parents. its more than a nonchalant attitude, great sense of humour, fabulous group of friends, or a high IQ. It's this "it" factor everyone talks about, but nobody ever knows what "it" is. it's like this unexplainable aura or energy they exude that makes them oh-so intruiging and memorable. what they have, is what everyone wants. but i think if we got what those "special" people have, we'd be awfully disapointed, because, in my opinion, we all have some sort of "it" factor. we all have something that would make a person think/look twice about us, we're all just a little scared to show it off. that "it" factor perse is simply being authentic and real, not masking yourself to blend in and be one of the crowd. why arewe all starving to be one another? we're all just as desperate, unsure, self concious, scared, fearful and lonely as each other, s why don;t we let our real selves out for a chance? if you have something to say, then say it.if you see something you wanna wear, then wear it. what we're all attracted to is really to superpower or pair of designer jeans after all. those memorable people haven't cracked any secret code or have some extrodinary genetic trait, they're just being themselves. being real. let's all stop this fascade and hiding out, it's not working.
yours ever so truly,
