the pleasure of not being seen

To be visible is to be real, and to be real is to be remembered.

How would people know I was still interesting if I didn’t give them something to perceive? How would I even know I was interesting if I had no audience to confirm it for me?

This is the great, unspoken truth of our age. If you do not post, you do not exist. If you are not constantly reinforcing your presence, your relevance, your desirability, then you are slipping, shrinking, becoming unimportant. It is not enough to simply be anymore, you must be perceived, and preferably, admired.
