And now, I present for your enjoyment and approval, a short play entitled “Relatable.”
ME: No one understand me. I am a deep and mysterious soul, formed by currents more numerous than anyone knows. I am a mystery wrapped in an enigma, a unique and inscrutable creature unlike all others, who cannot be defined by the molds of the rest of humanity.
ALSO ME: Lol every meme describes me exactly, I’d better tag myself in all of them.
Blackout. Close curtain. It may not be my best work ever but I think it captures the frustratingly joyous spirit of realizing that for as complicated as we are, absolutely no one can escape the infinitely familiar grasp of a highly relatable joke on the internet. In that spirit, here are 13 tweets with a window directly into your soul.
13. Hunger games
Lonely and fabulous.

8. Round the clock
It’s over before its begun.
Me: *checks clock before starting an activity*
My anxiety: "Well it's 9:14 which might as well be 9:30 and that's basically 10 which is almost 11 and i have to be in bed by 11:30 so I don't have time to start anything"

7. Self-destruct sequence
Initializing in 5…4…3…2…
Fun thing to do at 11pm:
Pick apart your every flaw and insecurity until you convince yourself that you’re unloveable then destroy your relationships because you’re convinced they don’t reciprocate your feelings anyway

6. Memories
I don’t remember how to do any math at all, but I remember this.
If I was accidentally weird to you once just know I will be thinking about it every night for the next 50 years

5. Room to grow
Don’t worry about it, I’m not even here.
therapist: so what’s troubling you?

therapist: and how does that make you feel?
me: fine

4. Here comes trouble
I’ll take whatever you’ve got.
Therapist: I think you’re just always afraid to be an imposition
Me: Pshhh no I’m not
…2 hours later…
Taco Bell: Gets my order wrong
Me: *Checks in the bag and realizes this*
Me: Looks great! Thank you so much, have a wonderful day!!!!!
