Write down three things you won’t do for any amount of likes. Now you know yourself a little better.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Lines you have not drawn in advance tend not to hold, since in the moment the reward is loud and the principle is abstract. Deciding beforehand turns a hard judgment call into something you settled while calm. Whatever ends up on the list also tells you what you care about protecting.

Write three down, specific enough to recognise on a bad night. Not being a good person, but who you would not film without asking, or what you would not say about a friend for a laugh. Keep it short enough to remember with your phone in your hand.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What would you refuse to do no matter how many likes?
