Imagine...
Your mind is swallowed in darkness, covered in a misty haze with no hope for light. You walk with one step in front of the other, breathe automatically but the zest to live is diminishing.
You do not feel love, happiness, sadness just the emptiness which is not a feeling in itself.
Well-wishers tell you to
Just shake it off
as if you could. As if you mind is an on/off switch rather than a mass of complex networks that you cannot fathom.
Whether you're suffering from trauma or a chemical imbalance, you're caught in the web of depression.
Things continue, days pass and your mind sees things but doesn't register. you continue to work mechanically, getting up each morning, hesitating in bed, but going through the motions.
Then one day you see a meme, a piece of dark humor that a fellow suffering human has put up and a wry smile lights up your face.
That darkness is supplanted by a teeny tiny ray of light. It isn't laugh out loud humor but sarcastic, sad, slice of life humor.
Then you finally develop an interest in something again, and one day you find yourself laughing. That musical sound which had gone into hibernation. Its vibrations healing the mind like nothing other can. You start making inappropriate memes which will revoke your female card. Like this:
You say to yourself "I will not go to that place again. I will laugh at the inanity, insanity and banality of human existence. Laugh at my follies, my shortcomings, at weak jokes that dad makes, at mom's cryptic messages."
I will get addicted to this dope-amine.
All memes are made by me on imgflip.
