Hubris

Questioning why your Instagram followers are growing at the speed of a tranquilized sloth—despite a solid decade of commitment—while the Vice President casually amasses a million within an hour and over 14 million followers in two weeks, remember: he’s a world leader running an entire nation, a very important one.

Strictly limited to the jurisdiction of a one-bedroom apartment, where I wield absolute control over honing my chive chopping skills.
