Sugercoated 009: Performative Independence
I found this word "performative" in almost every post I saw on Instagram. When I break it down, this is what I think it supposed to mean. PERFORMATIVE; performs an action by the very fact of being spoken. In modern terms, it describes an actions or statements done primarily to look GOOD. There! There it is! A statement. I found people were talking about performative productivity. Performative reading. Performative this. Performative that. Seems like to me it means people are pretending to do something for the looks of it. So were they all doing it just for the aesthetics? probably. We can't tell the difference. But what about performative independence? is that a thing? At this age, I can't help but think about the milestone I had reached. All the accomplishment that i have achieved. (There are not many though, I don't want to sound like I do) Am I where I want to be? For sure I am not where I need to be but that is another argument I had with myself....
