6. You can’t even bear opening Instagram because people are like DOING THINGS and you’re… not.

7. The rain is a perfect backdrop for your tears. Or if it’s sunny, the sun is too bright and you draw the blinds and just… wallow. Wallow so hard.

14. But you miss your friends! You miss doing things! You used to have a life, but now you’re just sort of… lost.

15. YOU ARE SO LOST. How do you find yourself again? Where did you go? What is the meaning of life? What is time? Does reincarnation exist? What is life? What is Earth? What is anything? What is your life’s meaning? Is it all meaningless? Is this an illusion?

16. Seriously, you are in a state. You might need to call your mom or your best friend or your therapist or your life coach or your spiritual advisor or maybe your astrologist or your psychic or ANYONE THAT CAN HELP YOU.

17. Or maybe you need to get a dog or a cat or a houseplant or something to give you a sense of purpose in life.
