"I love a bold bitch, but just because you're a creative genius doesn’t mean people owe you access to their lives."

Hello beautiful souls, it's your girl Monica, back with another unfiltered episode of Choices—where we peel back the layers of life’s toughest questions and possibly trigger a few people along the way. Today, we're diving into the ultimate question: Can you make it big without becoming a sellout? Spoiler alert: We don't hold back.

We explore everything from whether it's even possible to live on a yacht while staying true to your values (without, you know, sacrificing your soul), to dissecting Taylor Swift's PR genius—because who doesn't want to have a side chat about Miss Swift? We also look at why chasing trends is for the weak and how knowing who you are is the real flex in life. And let's not forget those bold-as-hell celebs who really don’t give a damn about what you think—some of us are here for it, and others? Well, we’ve got opinions.

So buckle up, because we’re calling out the billionaires, the wannabes, and everyone in between. We’re asking the hard questions like, "Is it worth selling a piece of your soul for a few extra zeros in your bank account?" Let’s be honest, the answer might surprise you. Now, get comfy and ready to question everything you thought about success, morals, and why you should absolutely NOT follow trends—unless, of course, you enjoy being a chameleon.
