It started with one follow. Then likes. Then checking every story she posted.
I memorized her outfits. Her hair routine. Her boyfriend’s name. I imagined we’d be friends. I imagined I was her.
Every morning I scrolled her profile before I even brushed my teeth. I saved screenshots of her outfits, her poses, even her captions.
I started to hate my face. My body. My boring life.
I still follow her. But I’m not sure if it’s love, hate, envy—or something worse.
I don’t know how to stop.
