Have you ever noticed how attentionistos try to rewrite their past when the present starts looking brighter?

yesterday,
i got an email from the PR rep of an ex-“kinda, sorta, maybe”-still current attentionisto.
yep,
you read that right.
PR.

Sidebar: the PR person was cool.
They are just doing their job so no shade or beef there.

anyway,
they wanted me to take down a few old posts about their client.
as i scrolled through the entries,
confused as to what was so scandalous,
i couldn’t help but think to myself…

Why do attentionistos freak out about the very content they put out in the first place for us to talk/font about?

it’s like that vixen who stars in wicked.
allegedly,
she is now trying to erase how she use to talk in the past:

is she taking down her past discography too?

like with attentionistos who evolve,
now that the stakes are higher,
folks think we’re all living under a rock and forgot who they were.

this attentionitos whole brand was built on the ambiguity of “is he or isn’t he?”.
his shenanigans had everyone fonting during the tumblr days,
speculating if he and his recently connected home-hybrid were more than friends.
that mystery funneled people straight to his onlyfans like moths to a flame.
here’s the thing:

We didn’t forget his past.
Matter a fact,
if you mention his name today,
it will always be associated with his past.

he wanted to be a NBA baller wolf but we knew that wasn’t going to happen.

he was more known for his big dick than dribbling a basketball.
when i reached the final entry i took down,
it got me thinking:

Are we defined by what we’ve done,
or by what we’re trying to hide?

when the spotlight’s on us,
we’re happy to feed the animals but when life changes,
we scramble to clean up our messes,
hoping no one notices or remembers.
me?
i’d rather own it.
use the past to fuel the future but i get it tho.
many of these attentionistios aren’t wired that way.
still,
when it comes to trying to tidy up our real life browsing histories…

Are we really fooling anyone?

…because someone will always be there to remind us.
