a photo of the author as she writes this

one major worry i have is that every time i post a photo or even a thought online, everyone is wondering why i’m seeking so much attention. when i see other people post photos online, no matter how clothed or unclothed, i never think that they’re posting it for attention, i just think they look nice. and when people tweet or blog or whatever, i don’t wonder “what is the purpose of this?” but rather i just take the post at face value. so why do i assume everybody is thinking these things about me?
