We sure can’t win all the time. Sometimes you cry sometimes you laugh. But man, with the way the world is right now any single slight smell of failure and everyone is already casting a stone at you.
It goes with the get rich or die trying that has found it’s way into the toxic hustle culture, leaving many dead or jailed young adults than before. Knowing that sometimes you just need to count your loses and move on is really luxury depending on the situation.

More than anything, I think we can blame social media for the world at large becoming a lot more judgmental than it used to be.
We see all these snippets of people's lives — that are basically a highlight reel — and others, and ourselves, use that false image as basis for comparison... and tend to fall horribly short. Or so we think. But we actually have no idea how many failures preceded that highligh reel.
I have a very low view of hustle culture... it's really toxic.
I agree with you. Social media has done more damage than good if we are being honest. Growing up with all this social media sh!t wasn’t easy as I had to always navigate amidst the noise. But eventually I’m glad I was able to see social media for the devil and darling that it could be depending on how we use it.
You rarely see me scrolling for the next video. I don’t even own any web 2 app other than X which is mainly for hive promotional activities.
