I remember when I first got into the metaverse, I thought it was everything. I was so excited about the possibilities, you know? I was going to build a new life, a better life, in a virtual world where I could be anyone I wanted.

I could have used that same money for a weekend trip, a nice dinner with friends, or even just some new books. I took off my headset and looked around my real living room. It was a mess. There were clothes on the floor, dishes in the sink, and dust bunnies in the corners. I had spent so much time making my virtual home perfect that I had completely neglected my real one. That’s when it hit me. The metaverse wasn’t an escape; it was just another chore. It was another thing to maintain, another bill to pay, and another way to ignore the things that really mattered in my life. I decided to stop.
