what's shared 'privately' always appears more authentic than what's posted publicly. if you try to 1up a great man or to impress a clouted cousin, you will have to flex double the posts to outshine them. do not get lost in their story, or stuck in a boomerang not of your own making... establish your own vibe by changing the filter on your life. gain power by quirking up-- FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS will disparage the whole algorhythm. slay the heads of that viral hungry hydra and feed attention to yourself.

Not really a revolutionary sentiment; this is something people talk about a lot. But it leads to people living their lives as if they’re on a stage in a literal sense where their homes become set dressing for the aspirational lifestyle they want to project with the purpose of creating monetized content that’s palatable to an audience and to advertisers. Tiktok seemed to democratize this landscape quite a bit to where people who didn’t fit the narrower expectations set on Instagram and YouTube were able to carve out niches for themselves, but these niches were still subject to specific visual languages, trends, and “rules.” And now that it’s almost certainly on death’s doorstep, it should be interesting to see how this evolves.
If you want to share your authentic life you should do it authentically—it’s scary to bravely offer yourself up in such an unfiltered way but it’s where you currently are and it’s part of your story. You may not be happy with the way your house looks now but viewers might enjoy seeing your journey of becoming and the way the space you live in evolves with that! Sometimes you don’t have to feel ready or confident enough to do something; the confidence can come with practice and familiarity. The hardest part is showing up! 💌

i feel like social media has made us so self-aware of our actions/habits/behaviors. we are thinking of what is cool or trendy or desirable. we are too afraid to be cringe! to be stupid! to be lame!
the best community i have found is the people who are not afraid to like what they like & are proud of it. do the stuff you always wanted to try. the people will follow.

Stop worrying about what jokes and references are currently the funniest and not “cringe”. Don’t give into every microtrend because capitalism praises those who continue to buy. If a trend helps you discover something you like, that’s amazing, but discover who you are rather than sloppily tying your identity to something that will be worthless in a week.
