The internet was one of the worst things to happen to my ego.
Growing up, I always got to be the creative, smart, and mature kid. I was always the one who knew how to write, who said intelligent things about the world, who read, who made beautiful art and designs, etc.
Then when I got Quotev, it was like. I'm not those things anymore. There's a lot of people who are more of those things than me, who are better than me at them. There was a new standard to reach. It only got worse once I got Tumblr, then eventually Instagram too. I'm able to see myself as kind and smart now, but... was I ever creative? And also, am I smart enough to compete, stand out against the people in my circles?
