Finding A Different Wave

Cat reflects on her Labor Day weekend, and a recent situation that forced her to analyze the worth she was giving herself as a creative entrepreneur. She expounds on her perspective of the rising glorification of "clout chasing" and how it's affecting modern-day culture. She wonders how people will view self-determination in the future and claims this to be a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the fame chasing lifestyle. Cat believes that every single person is born with unique talents they can offer the world and there's no need to hide behind the shadows of anyone else's.
