I'm smart, witty, and beautiful. I'm smart, witty, and beautiful. I'm smart, witty, and beautiful...

For some reason who we are in this world is never quite enough. We search for ourselves in books, movies, and relationships. The person in the mirror is not ourselves but a reflection of someone who needs to be better—more handsome, more beautiful, smarter. We create a new sense of self through social networks that offer us a reality that is not “real” but offers a satisfaction that effects us in virtually real ways. The term virtual used to represent presentations of real—things not quite real but “virtually” real. Today, with the emotion, attachment, and self-creation rooted within our virtual selves, virtuality has become reality.

Hmmm... I don't think I would disagree.
