No Logos Needed…

Well, absolutely none!

I used to fall for it, sure, the whole brand-name this and brand-name that. But I soon caught on that all I was doing was paying good money to walk around as free advertising for them. Why would I? I had no intention of being a human billboard.

Brands try to sell us an image, a status, or a tribe to belong to, but the truth is, it’s all smoke and mirrors. They don’t care about us, they care about profit. And the more people buy into it, the more they push the illusion that we need them.

I don’t. I’d rather wear something with no name at all and still know exactly who I am. I don’t need a logo to define me. I’d rather be branded by my own life, my choices, my scars, my laughter, my stories. That’s my label.

    Great share M.
    Ditto,
    Thankfully, a lot of us wake up in enough time.
    My awakening was in my early 20s.
    The last thing I had to shake was the car brands, that happened in my 30s.
    I have my take on this prompt to share tomorrow.
    I agree with you, labels, logos and brands consume those who consume them, those who sadly, don’t know who they are…yet.

    Love. xx

      Ah Phil, awakening in your 20s, the gift and the curse 😄. Glad you kicked those brands to the curb in your 30s… they’re sticky little labels, aren’t they? Excited to read your take tomorrow 🧡
      Much love to you,

    The chasing of brand names may be near the top of the silliest tendencies of society. Well put, Mae
