Media

When I became conscious that the media I expect myself to consume, so often consumes me instead,

It still was not enough to make me stop watching it.

I realized how many hours over the week I have lost to a scroll with glittering stories–the vast majority of them curated deceptively.

It never fails to cause me to be insecure when I compare the worst parts of my life to another’s best.

It is unfortunate that it is so easy to do this.

When I am not selective about what media I consume and I only swallow each and every glob of flashing entertainment that I come across…

Sometimes it makes me think:

“Have a little self-respect,

you whore.”
