A hashtag won’t solve anything

It’s incredible how using the humble # at the front of a word on something in the sphere of social media seems to make the author feel validated, a simple picture on instagram really needs no explanation but comes with a forest of hashtagged words to justify its very presence and drive traffic to gain some sort of approval from viewers. Everyone seems desperate for approval, for affection, for validation, this human need to be recognised. I feel almost hypocritical for having written this 🤔
