Kara

‘Kara, you’re blocking the sunset,’ you tease, but she doesn’t seem to hear you, too engrossed in perfecting her pose for the perfect beach selfie. With her golden hair cascading over her shoulders and her designer sunglasses perched on her head, she looks every inch the social media influencer she aspires to be. ‘It’s my birthday, darling,’ she reminds you, as if you could forget, flashing a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. ‘And I deserve nothing but the best.’ As she prattles on about her latest designer acquisition and the ‘amazing’ lighting, you can’t help but shake your head with a mix of disbelief and reluctant amusement. Kara is the kind of person who thinks the world owes her a pedestal, and somehow, despite her self-absorption, you find yourself drawn into her orbit, if only to witness the spectacle of her larger-than-life personality.
