3 Paragraphs to think
Last January, I joined an exclusive London club. The kind where you pay a joining fee, an annual membership, overpriced drinks—and still have to say thank you for the privilege of being admitted. Eight months later, I quit. Too much social life, too many Negronis. None of it made me healthier, happier, or sharper.
The status game is a losing endeavor. Chasing the next shiny thing is a trap I’ve fallen into many times. But what’s the real benefit of feeling important for a moment? The gratification fades as quickly as it comes.
I was born into privilege and I know how empty life becomes when it’s only about status and pleasures. I’m not going back. I’m a fighter, a doer. Goodbye, Maison Estelle—I’ve wasted enough time.
