I do not hate trends. I used to pretend I was above them, then secretly feel jealous when someone used one well and picked up attention I wanted. Later I swung the other way and tried to join too many of them. Neither version helped much. Following every trend made it feel borrowed. The middle ground took me a while to learn, mostly because it requires more judgment than a simple yes-or-no rule. A trend is not automatically good or bad. The question is whether it can travel through your account without leaving your voice behind.
