Hi there and welcome to this week’s Friday Open Thread! A place for friends, a place for family, a place for gratuitous GIFs. This is your open invitation to share your pet photos, food photos, stories and week. And this week, this is your place to pretend everything’s okay. Let’s talk about happy things because honestly I can’t take any more of this shitpile year.
I don’t want to talk about my feelings so here is an inspirational and illustrative gif.
Don’t talk to me about that asshole at work, that date who isn’t texting you back, that work thing that went horribly awry. Join me in some good ol’ fashioned emotional repression and pretend to be happy until you feel it. (But seriously it’s also okay to feel your feelings in a healthy and well-adjusted way. Well-adjusted approaches are also welcome here.)
Tell me about your bright spots. Tell me about your crush, some really good sex you’ve been having, your breakup that actually went really well, your new shoes, your great hair, your great breakfast, a thing that you’re excited to leave behind or a thing that you’re excited to pursue or just anything at all for which you’re hopeful. I hate suppressing the bad things and only talking about the good but let’s dive right in anyway. Because magical thinking is better with friends.
