Each day is full of opportunity but I will miss it trying to showcase my own vague, external, filtered beauty begging for the attention that gives me purpose. Hanging such importance on empty clicks, my thoughts and actions all ostentatious. memorial posts of those passed away only so you do not forget me while ‘remembering’ the deceased. I falsify spiritual enlightenment And happiness for your shallow approval, my desires consist only of creating envy. This mindset does not contribute productivity, a life lived seeking not love but cheap attention, I could travel to beautiful worldly waterfalls, and amazing views, but all I want is proof of my body in the foreground. The desperation emanates through this facade of confidence. If one has the brains to look past it. Intelligence, contentment and bank accounts Do not grow from such petty actions.
