‘A status update that is met with no likes becomes the equivalent of a joke met with silence.[…] And so we don’t show our true selves online, but a mask designed to conform to the opinions of those around us.’

An excellent read on modern social interaction and the need for acceptance. Lesson learnt - be yourself.

To embrace the misfit in oneself is to be vulnerable. It is to forsake the easy acceptance that comes with fitting in and to instead be fortified by a kind of love, really. A love of life, a love of wonder, and, ultimately, a sustaining love for oneself. Far from egoism, that love for oneself is a measure of one’s love for others, for humanity. And it is only from love that great ideas can be born.
