Look into the mirror. Think back on a time when you were cringe.
Does the embarrassment weigh you down? Do you still wake up in the middle of the night, shivering and shaken from yet another nightmare where you must face the consequences of your own adolescent naivety?
Do you ever feel compelled to apologize for your past self, for their naturally annoying and uncool disposition? Do you ever open Twitter or TikTok and review drafts that you will bring to your grave?
Have you ever secretly wished someone said to you, You’re so funny, you should do standup? and you’d reply, haha no way, I wouldn’t be able to take it
How often do you reflect on your measly human existence and feel a sense of shame, for its sheer undeniable puniness?
How often do you review your Instagram stories, or check your Twitter drafts?
Have you ever recorded yourself singing, played it back, and cried?
