The “_est” Isn’t Good Enough
Regardless if you are the “best”, “kindest” and “steadiest”,
In spite of being the “smartest”, “cutest”, and “wittiest”,
Even though you are the “coolest”, “nicest” and “wisest”,
No matter if you are the “friendliest”, “greatest” and “warmest”,
Achieving superlatives isn’t good enough.
It’s the craziest thing.
It’s the damnest thing.
It’s the cruelest thing of all things.
So liked this, Kris…the pressure to be “the best” to be good and…ah, fuck it. I’m always relieved to hear the silence of the universe, even though a part still loves loves loves the praise. :-/
I am always “the best girlfriend ever”, but that doesn’t save me from getting dumped. Ouch.
