LISometimes the shame isn’t about what you’re holding.
It’s about what society taught you to hide.
I felt awkward using an @apple iPhone in a general compartment.
Not because I did something wrong.
But because somewhere along the way,
we were taught that certain things don’t “belong” in certain spaces.
As if comfort has a class.
As if dignity has a ticket type.
As if you need permission to exist confidently.
I’ve survived toxic spaces at home, at work, in life.
And one thing I’ve learned is this:
shame is not natural. It’s conditioned.
This isn’t about a phone.
It’s about unlearning the idea that you should shrink
just because your surroundings don’t match your growth.
If you’ve ever felt like you need to hide your progress
to make others comfortable
this one’s for you.
