“
If you get to go to one fancy party in your life, or if you go to five hundred, I can almost guarantee that you’re not big enough to be “over it.” There’s nothing more obnoxious than people who make a big point of being blasé about a glamorous party. In the grand scheme of things, if you’re at one of these parties, you have a pretty nice life. And you may never have the chance to go again. Don’t complain about all the parties. Be humble. You’re lucky. Enjoy it.
So, so true.
