Lately I’ve been thinking where Instagram is taking us. Are all the eyes that look at our personal pictures wish well? Do they even know us enough to wish us well in the first place? Do they know us at all? Where is the world seeking validation and who is it seeking it from? The person or the follower? The compliment or the comment? The love or the like?
For all we know, the eye is not a real individual. The need to check the number of eyes is just a defense mechanism we use to tell ourselves that we are important enough for someone to be watching us. But then again, what do I know. Afterall, even if don’t upload personal pictures, I am a part of the platform too.
