i think reassuring at first because everyone wants to be less kept uncountable, especially once you’ve reached adulthood we miss the tolerance that the grown ups had for us since we don’t feel like we’re done learning but we can’t make the same mistake or be as irresponsible. and dedramatizing the stupid little things we do is funny. BUT it isn’t one or two memes, once it turns into a long-lasting theme with a rotation of trends inside: we lose the irony, (le second degree), it becomes plainly the base of other jokes so it’s integrated as “truth” or at least très premier degré. that’s when it’s very infantalizing and weird
but is anyone actually well ? i guess because i’ve been well myself. i wish i couldn’t control myself anymore, that the sadness could swallow me and all that was left to do was put me in a hospital. Maybe i’d jump from my window, or i’d go out naked and screaming in the street. It wouldn’t be blamed on me anymore. As long as i can still stop myself, i have the responsability to keep myself in check, just like everyone does because i’m not the only one with feelings, and i am not any worse than the others. to stop seeking attention and let everyone worry about themselves. Et à juste titre, am i thinking about them when i am lonely in my room? They could feel the same way and i’d have no idea. I think i’m going to reach out, ask if they’re okay.
