Trying To Impress

That's a really toxic addiction that unfortunately prevails in our modern society with always more people trying to show off with their new fancy and expensive product.

But as long as you will need the validation of others to assert yourself you will never be free nor happy.

Obviously it doesn't mean that we shouldn't care at all at people's opinion and refuse their love.

We remain a social animal. We just have to find of ways to impress others through our personality and intrinsic values as we should accept other's opinion if it encourages our growth but without being dependent of it.
