[ID: a tiktok by @/christiantheshowm, with a caption that reads “Millennials/Gen Z’s as Therapists:” and is a conversation between a therapist and his patient. The therapist is a black man with a beard, wearing a suit and round glasses. the patient is a black man lying down on a couch with one hand resting on his head. he is also wearing a white hoodie. the hoodie is up and the drawstrings are pulled tightly so that only his eyes, nose, and mouth are shown.]
Transcript:
Therapist: So how have things been?
Patient: Maybe I was just put on this earth just to die.
Therapist: Ok.
Patient: Like I’m not meant to find love or be happy.
Therapist: I got you.
Patient: Like I’m just supposed to die.
(the patient turns to the therapist who nods. the camera zooms in.)
Therapist (putting a pen up by his mouth): It do be like that sometimes.
It’s one in the morning, and I rediscovered this post and scrolled through while listening to “Uptown Girl,” and it was the most perfectly delightful experience I’ve ever had.
This is like one of those art house horror movies with symbolism I don’t understand except I understand what this is trying to convey perfectly holy crap
