Working as a social media manager for a client, I realized something: I don’t want to use my creativity just for engaging and dropping AI-generated comments that don’t feel meaningful to me. It all feels empty. I want to experience the outside world rather than being confined to a screen.
There was a time when I wanted to work as a waitress. And that urge is only growing. One day, I will work as one.
