When did self-expression become a competition?
When did the need to stand out become so important?
Everything and everyone is monetizable,
Your worth is a popularity contest,
Measured by likes and views,
Are you funny, are you pretty, do you make others envious of your life?
Why do I care so much what they think?
What is the price of entry worth?
How do I be me when I am not of value?
comparison is the thief of joy,
Envy is the thief of life.
