stop trying to fix yourself

stop trying to fix yourself

making yourself more palatable for others

in this stream of AI, ‘hustle’ and personal brands

I feel like people are all morphine into one mind??

one way of living one way of working

it’s kinda giving me the ick

we’re all here because we wanted to escape the ‘system’

the rat race, the 9-5, the invisible cage - whatever the f you wanna call it

but 99% of the platform has kinda just made their own?

So idk who needs to hear this but I just wanna call people to step into their own light

all the messiness of it, the fun, the HUMAN!

because once you’ve stepped into your own light, shame can’t stay

don’t be like other people and step straight from one system into another

go find ur own x

(idk where philosophical Dani came from but apparently ur all blessed with her today)
