So I was screwing around on socials accidentally found joy.
If you’ve noticed my social media containing this ridiculous image, this is why. I created a dumb broccoli face version of myself using a simple filter, and made this happy little friend.
In these dark times, we need to do everything we can to capture glints of joy somewhere. Somehow. Letting the oppressors even into our simple moments is how they win. No day is completely awful or completely good. Every day has experiences of each peppered in. This is why when things are awful, I turn to small sources of happiness for support. Any support at all. I’m a mess. I’ll take what I can get. And so I found a bit of silliness to brighten my day.
I just didn’t expect a little dumb Broccoli thing to become the next love of my life. It’s so pure and cute. It gives me joy. And joy is best enjoyed when shared.
Now you all can see why my Twitter avatar looks so damn weird.
Those of you who still care about Twitter anyway.
I don’t.
Why are you a mess?
