I am making memes mostly for myself with very specific message: “Things are bad, but they will be better” I am making them to change my thinking patterns. I am leaving the “Why?” as an exercise for the reader. In my opinion taking hopium changes the thinking and perception so that one is able to discover hope in their actual lives.

For me I bought a Blåhaj last week as a symbol that I have money to spend on a thing that I want and not that I need to survive. That plush shark gives me hope but it won’t give you hope so I generalize the messages in the memes.

Also I feel like “look at me and my life. I have made it!” In wholesome communities is insensitive as it doesn’t acknowledge the bad things that some reader is living through right now.

Exercising doesn’t only delay heart problems. It creates opportunities for the future. It makes you a bit more attractive, create opportunities to meet people at the gym, create a habit to build upon, it is a way to process emotions.

Perception is very important as humans can easily fall into cognitive biases that are hard to come out of.
