I’ve been seeing this term thrown about everywhere
Having “main character energy” is what people declare
On social media as they post perfectly curated content
In which they have aesthetically captured moments
From their lives, showcasing themselves with pride
It is a way of glamorizing their vulnerable side
*
For the longest time I could not figure out
What having main character energy was about
It seemed it was like being the heroine in your own storyline
A performative way of living life it seemed to define
But on a deeper dive I realized that cultivating main character energy
Can give one the confidence to move through life with authenticity
Because at the end of the day, why should one not be
The central protagonist, the most important character in their own story?

I already narrate my life in my mind
Main character energy within me I should easily find
Passion...unbridled
