RE: My Reawakening and Why Steemit is Fucking Flawed
"Social programming that i believe drains the soul!"
I got this. Few months ago, this reality struck me and it was through an unlikely source. i was opening a facebook account for my business and i found myself spending more than 5 hrs trying to come up with a simple bio for myself.
Is it that I have forgotten about myself that I know not a scinitilla of my entirety again? Is it that i have lost touch with myself?
No. I could easily describe myself. But i discovered that the struggle was trying to fit myself into "something" people will like and hail, "something" not necessarily the real me, all in the name of branding.
The greatest we can be is ourselves. We should desist from projection ourselves in a perfect manner to those we may never even meet.
Boom 💣
Spot on @pulchritude, I have experienced very similar experiences in the past, and I think you really put words on it 🙏🏼 +1 on the well-written comment btw.
So good.
I agree. I am a massage therapist and I fucking hate marketing. I do massage. My website says I do massage with my rates and my contact info, so great, can I get some clients now?! Why would I want to circle jerk at the keyboard telling people I do massage, and write about why it is good, when they can Google it? I do honestly want to write good content...I just wish it weren't such chore.
I can relate to that bio part of things, in my opinion, it stems from insecurities from our social programming, this is the way something is supposed to look and feel, hence the growth rate of consumerism.
