This is precisely the same conundrum I find myself in, although I haven't been able to articulate as wonderfully as you just did. The idea of being a part of a generation that unwittingly committed to commodifying ourselves, digitally, in an act of self preservation. Looking forward to hearing more and thank you for your writing!
I love this! Don’t feel bad about taking up space and wanting to express yourself or build your identity through the internet. Our virtual identity is kind of just as important as our “in-person” identity now and it’s intertwined. We can use our social media or virtual channels to explore ourselves, express and get to know ourselves in ways we couldn’t before. So think of it as a positive thing, and as another way we can connect and bond with other humans too.
