Being noticed and being known are different. Chase the second one.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Attention is easy to measure and fairly easy to get: a post, an outfit, a performance. Being known takes time, repetition and letting somebody see a version of you that you have not styled. One gives you a hit that lasts an afternoon, the other a person who will notice if you go quiet for a week.

Spend some of this week on the slower one. Tell one friend something true that you usually keep back. Ask somebody a real question and stay for the answer. If you have been counting likes to work out how you are doing, count instead the people who would know something was wrong.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Who in your life actually knows you rather than just sees you?
