My son has a book called Grumpy Monkey, about a chimp who is grumpy and realizes over the course of the story that it’s fine – sometimes we just need to be grouchy for no reason, but we’ll feel better soon.
If you’re having a day like that while the people around you insist there’s no reason to feel down, well, this Instagram account called Sad Topographies might be for you.
Photographer and geographer Damien Rudd has collected bizarrely and unfortunately named places in the world, compiling him on his account to “spread sadness worldwide,” and to “provide somewhere to go when you’re feeling low.”
If you enjoy sort of wallowing in your melancholy days sometimes, here are 13 places you can virtually visit so that you location matches your mood.
12. We are all living here right now.
11. Very existential crisis-y.
10. I can’t say I’m tempted to visit.
9. The choice is yours, my friends.
8. Pretty sure I went there a few times in college.
7. There are birds there that don’t chirp, they just say “womp-womp.”
6. Is this a requirement to live there, or…
5. Score one for accuracy.
4. One definitely feels inferior.
3. Is this the setting of a horror novel?
2. I think I dated a guy that lived there once.
1. I bet this intersects with Loser Lane somewhere.
As someone who’s been known to wallow, I super duper love this, and will be scrolling/visiting often.
