Double Life
By: Ashley O’Hare
I live in two worlds.
The world in which I eat and breathe
is becoming exceedingly less important.
The world of likes
and paid promotions
and stunning filters
is the one that truly matters.
If you don’t have a following,
then what use is a sense of humor?
If the picture of last night’s dinner
reached less than millions—
was it even worth the money?
If a photo of my face
gets lost in the swarm—
am I even worth the space
I take up in my physical form?
