Hey, it’s me—your inner monologue, coming up with quick vibe check. You know that feeling when you’re hyped about something, but you’re also wondering if you’re trying just a little too hard? Yeah, me too. Let’s talk about it.
I’ve been there—that late-night moment where you’re staring at your phone, debating whether to send a text. Excitement is sending a meme that says, “I totally get you.” Desperation? Rewriting the same message ten times, overthinking if it’s cool enough. (Spoiler: it probably isn’t.)
And don’t even get me started on shopping. Excitement is finding the sneakers you’ve wanted forever and finally hitting “Add to Cart.” Desperation? Panic-buying a jacket because, hey, it’s 80% off. (Now it’s 100% regret.)
Then there’s social media—oh, the chaos. Excitement is posting something that feels so you. Desperation? Refreshing your likes every two minutes, praying for validation from that one person who hasn’t double-tapped yet. (You know who I’m talking about.)
Here’s the thing: excitement is magnetic. It’s that effortless glow when you’re genuinely enjoying yourself. Desperation? It’s like wearing a neon sign that says, “Please like me.”
Think of it like watering a plant—just enough keeps it thriving, but overdoing it drowns the roots. Balance is everything.
Next time you’re caught in that push-pull, ask yourself: Am I sharing because it feels good, or because I’m chasing something I don’t need? Trust me, the answer will change everything.
Bye.
