A short spoken reflection (YouTube video) about how social media alters interpersonal connection—people may follow someone online yet never interact in-person—and the importance of balancing time and personal energy. The speaker contrasts online engagement with more direct forms of care, warns that giving time to everyone leads to exhaustion, and emphasizes boundaries while pursuing goals (notably "fuck you money").
And the connectivity of social media, I think, changed the way we review how we spend time with each other. You can follow somebody online all day and never speak to them and feel like that's enough. Love versus some people need you to call, check in, sit down with them. And I think when you're navigating business, especially when you're in pursuit of fuck you, money, you can't always give your time to everybody. Not you will exhaust yourself. You will burn out. Do you feel like you can burn out of love? I don't think you could burn out of love, but you can't burn out of your energy. You have to know how to balance your energy when you're like, loving people, you know what I'm saying?
