Jordan, this is absolutely fabulous! It resonates with me deeply too; I started my journey on IG in the book world, and have been struggling too the last few years to figure out my multilayered public identity, so to speak. I’ve been so hardwired to just stick to books and so intimidated/unsure of how to break out. I love The Composite so much and can’t wait to keep reading!!! 🤍
Thank you, I’m so glad it resonated 💛 I was starting to get in my head and I had to really take a step back and realize that we can be as multifaceted in online spaces as we are in real life. I’ve learned the people who follow are typically there for the person more than the content and they’re happy to get acquainted with more sides of you ✨
Gahhhh I feel like I just came out of a middle school sleepover after reading this, the nostalgia is real! I love rewatching old comforts (this summer I did Lohan Parent Trap and American Pie and read The Borrowers to my kids)- I have all seasons of Lizzie and Uptown Girls on DVD, I need to pull those out! Thanks for this delightful read… but that AI Influencer is terrifying
Brittany! Thank you, what a compliment. Sleepover vibes is the goal I never knew I had. I wish I had a stockpile of all the nostalgic faves. And yes, so scary 😳
