I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives

Summary

This quote expresses the fear of losing one's sense of authenticity and uniqueness when being exposed to the spotlight or losing the comfort of being unknown. It compares genuineness to celery, which grows in darkness and suggests that maintaining a true and authentic self is often easier when not in the limelight. It implies that external influences and attention can potentially interrupt or dilute one's true essence, advocating for the preservation of one's individuality in a world that constantly seeks visibility and recognition.
