“Social media has made this generation so narcissistic and self centered everyone’s always posting selfies and posting about everything they do during the day” shut up. The human desire to show you exist and you were here is innate and we’ve been doing it since the days we were leaving hand prints on cave walls

#I’m in a romantic mood rn don’t mind my bullshit lol #I have a lot of feelings abt the idea of how we want to show we exist and be seen #it’s really a shame I don’t see this idea explored much in media #there is stuff about leaving behind a legacy in media sure but that’s not quite the same #bojack did do this which I rly liked #in the episode where he’s giving a speech at his moms funeral #talking about how she said ‘I see you’ before she died #the desire to just be seen #also this book I like called moral lessons had a chapter on this #it was a chapter about smoking and how part of the appeal of smoking is #you sort of prove you’re existence. the smoke and the smell of it goes beyond you and your presence is undeniable #and the same is for wearing perfume #‘’‘I am here’ she sniffs happily ‘I am really here’’’#I rly like this book lol #edit: it’s mortal lessons not moral lessons #my bad lol #also the author is Richard Selzer #if anyone’s interested in reading it
