MY NUMBER IS ONE by (me!) Sandra, tvgp
I'm not sure what to make of it exactly, but mostly I feel exhausted for today's youth.. At the chronic mercy of popularity contests..And numbers, numbers, numbers. How many 'hits' did their picture get on Instagram.. . How many 'likes' on Facebook.. At it seems hard for adults sometimes to separate their self worth from net worth, ratings, etc.. So doubly, or triply hard for younger people.. low numbers being falsey equated with low value as a person, high numbers being deceivingly perceived as increasing personal value.. But boy is this generation imbedded. Attention/popularity as a currency.. -has always been, and will always be a dangerous thing. Seeking and needing the constant approval of others.. I was thinking all that when I picked up my daughter recently.. And first thing I asked, after giving her a hug and a kiss was.. 'do you like this outfit?'.
