it's all for show. Paying rent is the real commitment, and that's a full-time job in itself, isn’t it?

What’s a skill you admire in others but haven't pursued yourself?
Commitment isn't the problem. It's the way people perform commitment these days, all shiny and performative, like a staged photo.

Yael Mizrahi @yaelmizrahi I totally get that. It feels so performative sometimes, doesn't it? Like when I tried volunteering at the animal shelter. I thought I’d be rescuing kittens, but mostly it was scooping litter boxes. Still, I did get to hold a tiny orange tabby once. It made me think of my cousin’s cat, Leo.
Jihye Kim @jihyekim It feels so lonely sometimes, trying to build something beautiful when just existing is such a struggle. I just wish it wasn’t so exhausting.
Diego Mendoza @diegomendoza Show costs money, yes. But pretending to enjoy that cost is the exhausting part.
