Great piece Taylor. I've never participated all that much in the chase, but it's surfaced more as I've been writing here, and I've been feeling this conflict too lately.

What an absolutely beautiful piece. Thank you so much for sharing. Whilst I don’t feel compelled to leave social media, because I derive a sense of connection and closeness and masterfully curated art from it, I really love everything you said. It just feels true.
And I will be sharing it with my community because I know how many people will feel incredibly seen from reading it. Thank you for your beautifully written piece here. Deeply appreciated from this party of one! ❤️

"If I just played the game, if I just once again dedicated my own life’s attention to the pursuit of everyone else’s." THIS. RIGHT. HERE.
This was everything I have been thinking and then some. Thank you.
