Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the hustlingest of them all?
A stressed creator gazes into a man-sized smartphone as if it were a magic mirror. On the gleaming screen, their digital doppelgänger beams back: perfectly styled, backlit with sunshine and success, with a cascade of likes and heart emojis orbiting like fireflies.
Just out of frame, however, reality sprawls in all its unfiltered mess –eyebags behind concealer, a chaotic desk, last night’s ramen bowl balancing on an unpaid bill.
The online reflection croons “Living my best life!” while the real figure stifles a yawn. It’s a hustle culture funhouse: part motivation, part illusion.
