The Rules of Getting In
To be part of a certain group, there are rules. Not written down, but real. You have to like the right things and mock the right things. You have to be a bit mean about certain people. You have to dress a way, talk a way, never seem too keen, never break the unspoken code. You've learned the rules well enough that you could probably get in. But the closer you look, the more you notice how much the rules ask you to give up — your enthusiasm, some of your kindness, parts of your taste, the freedom to like what you like. It's a strange deal: become a narrower version of yourself, and in exchange, you get to belong.
