Its intensity varies, but sadness is a normal human emotion that fills us in upsetting, painful, or disappointing situations.
Feeling blue doesn't necessarily mean you are doing something wrong. Rather, it helps us come to terms with the harsh side of reality and move on.
And the Instagram account 'Mad Sad Not Good' is trying to normalize it.
Using the universal language of memes, it shares relatable jokes about everyday struggles, fostering a sense of solidarity and understanding among its followers.

i can't be the only one who vaguely misses 2020, in a weird sort of way. edit: the amount of people upvoting this is sad, i'm sorry so many people are so stressed with life right now. stay safe, i love you all, try to prioritize yourselves 🩵
I really enjoyed quarantine, would go back in a heartbeat

While queuing for groceries for a household of people with special medical diets and having to go to multiple shops to make it work. People talking about how lovely it is to take walks and shop at their local artisan bakery when my area is all broken glass, trash and dog poo. They knocked half our shopping centre down just before the lockdowns so it's actually STILL not been rebuilt cos a protected species moved in to the side that had been vacated but not demolished, so we didn't have artisan bakeries we had a single shop: a betting shop. I had a lot of healthcare delayed and I'm finally going to an appointment for a problem I developed in March 2020. The appointment is on Monday. Yes, this upcoming 2024 Monday.

Same. Made getting across Manhattan and through Chicago a lot faster.
Load More Replies...I worked in a hospital during the pandemic. Now way I will ever miss that time. I still have nightmares.
We had a baby and I started a new job just before it. It was the hardest time time of my life. Absolutely brutal. There was no dancing or making bread for me.
:-( yeah i dont like the way some people are making it sound like it was pure fun
Load More Replies...I liked the empty roads and the quiet. I didn't like my dad being diagnosed with Alzheimer's in the April and not being able access the support he needed
there were fun parts, but mostly getting super depressed because i wasnt able to see friends and family because you were not supposed to cross the border (they obviously live in another country) and i missed going to concerts too much. I had to let my BF go to a friends funeral on his own. When another friend died, i did nothing but cry and cry and cry for a week. At a certain moment my BF desperately said "i wish i could take you somewhere to get your mind off of it but i cant even take you into town for a coffee or a nice meal" So yeah, no, i dont understand the way its glorified. And as an extra bonus, it brought up all the conspiracy idiots too. F**k that s**t.
This is a pretty simplistic, rose-colored view of an event that affected the entire world, and a lot of it in pretty rough ways. I agree there might have been a few good moments like this post describes, but it's hard to overlook the lost income for so many, the interruption to kids' education, massive medical staff burnout, and oh yeah, the millions of dead.
Learning about America's health policies, education policies, cost of livelihood gave me nightmares, BRO WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PAY A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR AN AMBULANCE????
Because we don't have a healthcare system, we have a healthcare INDUSTRY.

You sound like you are being taken hostage. Are you okay?
Load More Replies...*proud American- we're not too happy about this sh*t show either. 🤦♂️
You have quite a point here: most people are proud to be a citizen of their nation, for instance British or Spanish, but are not happy about the shows in their countries either. Somehow most gouvernments lack contact with their constituents, except when it's election time.

It's not Boredpanda who voted this #1. Apparently the majority do not share your opinion.

It's to counteract the constant American propaganda we've been bombarded with for the last 100 years. "Land of the free, home of the brave" "Truth, Justice, and the American way" "The best country on earth" (Disagreeing is not hate speech)

There are several other locations on the planet that could claim that title as well.
Load More Replies...Can you name one country where people live in harmony with their gouvernments and way of life? Some countries are so much worse than the US, and some are better, but you cannot change a society or institution by walking away from it.
Australia here, yeah not perfect but we have gun control, free health care, subsidised medication, manageable student loans. Growing up I always wanted to live in America, still would love to visit but that's all.
Load More Replies...Cool, I was worried we'd go an hour or two without pissing on other's countries.
To learn more about the things that we feel, we contacted London-based psychiatrist and author of 'You Are Not Meant To Be Happy. So Stop Trying,' Rafa Euba.
"Sadness is a natural emotion that we are meant to experience during certain periods in our lives," he told Bored Panda. "It is normally intermittent, like all our other emotions, and will come and go depending on what's happening at any given time."
"Sadness is more persistent during periods of adaptation to a loss when it will help us gradually reset our mind in response to that loss," the psychiatrist added. "The sadness we feel when we fail to achieve a certain goal, or that associated with unrequited love, may also help us re-evaluate our ambitions and lower our expectations. Sadness makes us withdraw and reflect for a while, which may result in better planning."

Load More Replies...I think human ancestry fascination is very strange because it's focus is on the biological blood line. Like, I don't know, purebred puppies or rabbits or something. Human breeding to me simply isn't interesting. I wish I could have met the couple that took in my biological grandmother and raised her as their own, changing her socioeconomic place in the world and therefore mine. The woman with whom my great aunt has shared a house for the last 80 years is interesting to me. The couple the same age as my parents who I've invited to be grandparents for my children, whom my children see every week and call grandma and grandpa, and who wrote my children into their will. None of those important and interesting and influential people show in my ancestry. To me that makes ancestry feel like a flat boring shadow of information and ancestry focus makes me see humans as more animal like. Ick.
I find my ancestry very interesting, actually. I am currently working on a family tree for my dad who turns 70 this year. I have found some pretty cool things in my family: one guy was a vet in the late 1700s and early 1800s (have no idea what the job really was about, then), one guy collapsed from sun exposure in the field and he died a few days later because they tried to treat it with blood letting, several ancestors had pretty big farms, there is surprisingly little inbreeding when you think about the fact that most of my family is from an area that is known for inbreeding historically... I could go on. I feel lucky that I can trace half my family to back in the early 1500s. :) I only research for the direct line of ancestors, though, not really caring about siblings and other spouses and so on.
"After this nap I'm going to have some energy and get something done." (Lie I tell myself frequently.)
When I'm angry about something I can't change at the moment I take a nap so I can concentrate on important stuff. usually works actually.
Load More Replies...Considering I'm always depressed I can't sleep 100% of the time but I'll definitely try this more.
I hear you. I hope your depression eases, and you can find a way to cope with it and feel better. And I hope you get some good sleep not naps but more. I wish all the best for you. I know it can be sucha struggle.
Load More Replies...When you are young, you're not aware of the "reload button" everyone is born with. You could see your nap as a reload moment (and when you're older, you need an entire day to reload:)). So don't waste your nap on things you can't change, just give in to the nap and use it to reload your energy.
If you are really depressed, you don't need to nap because you can't even get out of bed in the morning.
Even though it can knock us down, we shouldn't mistake sadness for depression. "Sadness is an emotion, which often comes combined with other emotions, both negative (like anxiety) and positive," Euba highlighted. "Nostalgia, for instance, is a generally pleasant emotion, even though it includes within it an element of sadness."
"In contrast, depression is a clinical condition, an illness that needs to be treated," he said. "In depression, negative emotions spiral out of control, generating enormous suffering. A depressed person feels sad and anxious constantly and for long periods of time, and typically finds it difficult to sleep, or to enjoy anything in their lives."
"So while emotions are fleeting and have functions that help us live our lives, a depressive illness has no function. It is a malfunction."

I'm not an introvert but I frequently forget to actually reply to messages (I've replied in my head or even wrote replies and just forgot to hit send) Good friends know what I'm like.
I persuade myself that I never saw it in the first place. Like I'll see it a few weeks later and actually believe I haven't seen it before and wonder how I missed it! Is it bad to be that far into denial?!
Nope. 'Cuz I don't need that unnecessary stress. Just rip that band-aid off and get it dealt with!
No regrets, if they expected a reply, they know that needed to ask again every few days.
Im in this picture and i dont like it. At least im not alone, but yeah this is how i (dont) function. you dont want to just quickly answer and take your time.

Load More Replies...I knew a woman who was 96, and when she died her granddaughter admitted to me that the woman was miserable. She said her g-mother said that at her age, life was just a series of chores, again and again, over and over, and in the last year of her life the woman would randomly say "can I go now?" And her g-daughter knew what she meant.
In her nineties my great grandmother used to say "Der liebe Gott hat mich vergessen"("The dear Father in heaven has forgotten me") - and she was an atheist. At that point she had seen every friend and relative of her age die, experienced every emotion and "seen it all", she was just bone tired of life.
Load More Replies...This is how I feel. I can't wait to get out of this dumpster fire.
I should have died at least 3 times in my life, but I always avoided it. I'm 47 now, and yes, God is punishing me. I'm only hoping my next life will be awesome to make up for this one.
By the time my spouse's grandmother died, she was in her 90s, deaf, blind, unable to walk, and absolutely miserable.
Thats what I think now at 36, I guess I won't grow out of it.
It's difficult to say just how much sadness is normal, as there can be a lot of variation in how different people process emotions, but, for example, a survey of 2,000 British adults discovered that on average, they spend three months a year in a glum mood, equating to 96 days a year, or eight days each month.
Interestingly, the new year doesn't start on a good note either, with a quarter feeling at their lowest during January.

I've wondered how the guy who first drank milk from a cow had to explain what he was doing when he discovered this.
You know, I don't think we give ourselves enough credit. I'd like to think we'd be smart enough to recognize it's mimicry while trying to hunt it... I mean, I'd probably go, "huh, neat... it's imitating other animals...I wonder how it tastes.".
Parrot joke: a woman had a parrot that had terrible language with cursing and obnoxious tirades (must’ve heard from the woman herself right?) it was just always rude and saying mean things. And the woman would say back to it, “one of these days…! in a threatening tone. When the holidays came, the woman was afraid if she had people over the bird would say something awful and cause so much trouble and embarrassment. But the bird was quiet the entire time. She was surprised and after everyone left she asked it, Why didn’t you talk this whole time? And the parrot said -first let me ask you this-what on earth did that turkey say to you?”
I refer to my seasonal depression as "pumpkin spice depression" because it sounds more festive. Once we get into December it becomes "peppermint depression".

Do you get really bad imposter syndrome when you get praised for all the good work that you have done? I do and I hate it

Load More Replies...I took photos of my accomplishments - with pride, because I knew at some point in the future I'd need to remind myself that I'm not a total f&ck up.
When I complete a task, I'm peeved at how easy it was and how little time it took, since I procrastinated so long.
I get a rebound dread/ nervousness. My system calms down slower than I can do the task, so when it's done, I still feel nervous for a few minutes after
It's like cries got confused and added an extra S....
Load More Replies...You ever have a time where things are actually going okay but then you get anxious because there's *not* something currently wrong?
I was a professional prior to parenthood (and after) and can honestly say juggling crises both professionally and personally is simply adulthood. One can accept it and enjoy life or not. IMO, enjoyment is a much better option.
Load More Replies...Top winter gloom inducers include the weather, shorter days with dark mornings and evenings, and feeling cold.
Spending time with friends and family is the top way people combat January blues, followed by listening to music, resting, and going outdoors.
That being said, the average person spends just under an hour a day outdoors in winter and estimates only 44 minutes of that is in direct sunlight.
Furthermore, one in five only gets between 1 and 15 minutes a day under the winter sun’s rays.
'cause when you get to the other you're magically not tired anymore 🙃

The equivalent of couch sleepy for me is mellow mat sleepy. I can put on a random gaming stream and lie on my stomach and POOF im out.
I sleep the first half in my recliner, pee, then flop into bed for the second half.
New Gig work opportunity - "Mobile valet" Like uber, but you summon a valet, who gets dropped off at your destination, takes your car, and drives around Toronto or finds a parking space until you message them, then meets you, hands your car back, and charges you $25 per hour. Valets have QR badges you scan when you give them your keys. You get a $2 per hour discount if you select to let them pick up and drop off other valets to gigs with your car during your booked window. For an additional fee, they can take your car to be washed, and/or detailed, charge the battery and drop off your drycleaning. The evening service includes a "Drive me home" option for drinkers, where the valet drives you home in your own car and gets collected by an uber. It's cheaper than downtown parking, a door to door service, and you never have to look for a parking space again.
My third wish would always be "and a never-ending supply of wishes" anyway.
But the rule is you can't wish for more wishes.
Load More Replies...If you live in the USA, the genie would be making the "But all of this gesture" right now.
My self loathing self: “But I don’t deserve 17 wishes, people will think I’m looking for attention.”
I'd take offence but, y'know *gestures vaguely at self*, I'd say that's pretty fair.
If you even just had one wish, the first thing you should wish for is infinite wishes.
So you can wish for three (and only 3) of the following: beauty, health, money, power. Which 3 are you wishing for?
Beauty, health, & money. Cause if you have money, you have power.
Load More Replies...I'm picturing Whoopi Goldberg. I can see her up-down look and wave of hand.
You only need one. Money and lots of it. $100 million absolutely will solve all your problems. Money lets you do what makes you happy. Money pays for therapy. Money lets you help others. Money gives you freedom. "Money isn't everything" or "Money doesn't buy happiness" is a scam to keep poor people from getting too angry or asking awkward questions.
Money doesn't cure cancer or cystic fibrosis or MS or, well you get the idea. While Money is great, health is probably the best wish.

But just as sadness is a natural emotion, so are its remedies. Dr. Shelley James, director at Age of Light Innovations, said that bright light, especially in the morning, can help boost your mood in three naturally powerful ways: by helping the brain to regulate mood hormones, supporting alertness, and making it easier to fall asleep.
James noted that simply getting outside into natural daylight can sometimes be enough to top up your mood, as it boosts your body even when the sun isn't breaking through, as well as giving you a chance to get a little exercise.

Wait, is that all they are? So when I see air fryer directions in a recipe, I can just use my convection oven?
Load More Replies...Toaster oven with a fan doesn't sound as trendy. Living alone I do find mine handy For small jobs it's easier/faster/less energy than firing up my real oven
but it takes away sooo much space for such a little compartment to put your food in.
Load More Replies...Yes, as a German air fryers confused the hell out of me because... our ovens usually already do that. We have indirect heat and air frying and grilling functions in our ovens.
The main thing to keep in mind is they are actually less efficient than ovens if both were used to capacity, they only become slightly efficient if you are only doing a small batch which would be more wasteful to do in a large oven. Also if you are home during summer and are just trying to warm things sometimes putting stuff in a covered dish and leaving it inside your car where it can get sun will heat it enough.
Yeah, We had one for six months before we realized both our regular oven and our toaster oven did the same thing, so now we have three of the d*MN things and we didn't really even need one of them.
As an addict this hits hard...God dammit all u want is to stay in that few drunk places forever but turns out continuously drinking does not mean you stay in that place ...catch 22 lol! Well at least in recovery i can laugh about it now!
And from 2.1 to 2.4 drinks, I'm a wizard at billiards, darts, dancing, and talking to people. After 2.5, all bets are off...
As the doctor says in Whisky Galore, it's a well known fact that some men are born two drinks below par. For me it's two coffees.
Uuh... I feel called out for something I didn't realise... If I drink too much, I become 'normal'...
At a resteraunt I ordered some wine and the waitress asked to see my id. I was flattered and asked if she thought I was underage and she replied with “no, I just want to see if you qualify for the seniors discount.”
There, there...It's up to you to turn the light back on. Get busy livin'...without alcohol.
Soooo even if im underage if i go into the liquor store looking like hell they won’t ID? How did I not know this before??
"If you feel sad occasionally, bear in mind that this is just a natural emotion that is very much a part of our lives," psychiatrist Rafa Euba added. "Think of it as 'mental weather,' a natural fluctuation that will pass soon and will probably be replaced by a different emotion."
"Remember too that despite what you see in social media, we are not really meant to be consistently happy. Humans will always struggle with intermittent difficult emotions, which are there because of a set of very powerful biological and evolutionary reasons, so they are not going to go away any time soon."
quadratic equations are really kinda niche as a job skill.
Load More Replies...You have 15 buckets of ice cream in your fridge. Your sh*tty neighbor comes asking you to give him 5 buckets. How many buckets do you have now? 15. Yes, because you said no. That's self love
If your parents can teach you quadratic equation, then why not? It is fascinating that people expect school to teach basic life skills. This is the core task of family, to teach children how their body and soul works, positive interaction with other living things and a household (including taxes, bank stuff, planning shopping fir meals, ...) is run. They can provide first hand experience, instead of a theoretical lesson with Powerpoint-slides. If parents refuse to treat their children as "apprentices", or children refuse to learn it, then it is not the fault of the education system. School = teaching a wide field of things, enabling you to understand that there is a world beyond your own city and identify the skills you are good at, so you can choose a job you don't hate.
There are children without parents, there are children with parents that work multiple jobs to keep a roof over their head and food in their mouths, there are parents who are just lousy at parenting. So where do those kids learn it?
Load More Replies...Maybe a class on balancing a bank account and real world cost of living. It'd be a harsh realization but if a kid knew going in how hard it is, they could start thinking about what they might do to improve their odds.
I had this class unit three times in 13 years.6th grade: Meet the people in town, a five day field trip. Then in 8th grade, we picked life parameters at random and needed to use resources (rental listings, jobs, etc( to built a budget. Then in high school, we went to the grocery store, we drew envelopes with fake money and had to "buy" food for the week. Some people had to buy groceries for large families on very little money. The poor kids finally got the highest grades, the more affluent students really struggled to make affordable and nutritious choices.

I need this sticker...scrap that, we all just need to start being kinder to eachother and this wouldn't be a problem.
I live in NY, people won't let you merge deliberately so that you start crying.
You must get toughen up merging can be a blood sport. Big city rush hour Friday afternoon is good time to practice
Every student driver should have this. We would be unstoppable!
Love highways that are designed with a parallel merge lane that drops back to the access road if traffic is too thick; hate forced merge Y's, they are just dangerous, sometimes traffic is too thick, slow laners sometimes can't or won't move over, and yielding puts you in the position of having to test out your car's 0 to 70+ abilities to jump into the next gap.
However, if you suspect that you might be depressed, Euba advises you to seek professional help. "Treatment and therapy will help, and you will then be able to experience the normal range of human emotions (including occasional sadness) without the burden of your depression."

One reason for this is because people in the past could not predict bad weather the way we can now, and one major reason for all the sunken ships is because they kept going through that area during hurricane season. They have about 6 hurricanes a year, usually between June and November
And also because some people discovered that books and documentaries about the sPoOkY Bermuda Triangles sell really well, so they waay overhyped the accidents that did happen.

“And then the plane disappeared from radar! Where could it go?! Did it just *vanish* into thin air?!?!?!” Yeah turns out there’s this thing below the airplane called “the ocean” that has a very deep bottom. It’s not a wormhole into another dimension or another place/time. It’s the ocean. 🌊
Things you thought were going to be much more of a problem in life: the Bermuda Triangle, quicksand, needing to know how to escape an attacking bear, spontaneous human combustion, complete strangers offering free drugs, the floor potentially being lava...
This is true. Most of the time the people who offer you free drugs are your friends

A tip I've recently discovered: Morningstar Farms Spicy Black Bean veggie burgers. And Martin's potato sandwich rolls. Put the roll into the toaster oven. Put a burger (still frozen) onto a plate; microwave 45 seconds, flip it over (on the plate; don't flip the plate over...) microwave 35 seconds. Put a slice of cheese on it when it's done. By that time the roll is toasted; put it on another plate (the first is kinda greasy; I don't like that, but if you don't mind it, you can save washing a plate). I like sweet relish on it; put it on the roll, then the burger and close it up. It probably took longer to read this than to actually cook it.

“If he watches Friends reruns one more time, Imma lose it.” (I proceed to watch another Friends rerun, wondering why I’m hearing screaming from the bushes outside).
How to get your stalker to end themselves instead of you...
Load More Replies...Didn't Robert Pattinson get rid of a stalker but meeting them and just being incredibly dull?
I read that as well and thought it was brilliant!
Load More Replies...I have plans! My plans are to stay in bed. This doesn't happen all by itself, you know. I had to buy a Netflix subscription, is that not preparation?
I'm such a routine freak that if anyone was monitoring my daily life, they'd get bored af for literal years, then freak out just because I had a 5 min delay in my usual errand schedule.
I had same thought about my phone being wired like in the movies. Which conversation dl you expect ?
to get a stalker, i'd have to leave the house ever, and engage with people locally!
If I had a stalker I'd expect them to start a baking hobby out of boredome. "Is she still working? Yup, still typing, working. Oh a bit of doomscrolling. How exciting."
I always imagine a badass movie where we follow for instance this guy, and all hell breaks loose. This guy in a Minnie Mouse suit beating up bad guys.
I saw something like that at a parade in the US one time. The old guy was dressed as the dalmation dog was leaned against the fire truck with his dog head removed, smoking a cigarette.

Who says you have to be in love? I lived in a room in a house with 8 other people for 2 years.
Love that you added a lil ✨️razzle dazzle✨️ to the mental illness.
Load More Replies...I’m just two forms of PTSD, anxiety and depression in a trench coat pretending to be a person.
Whatever my plans may be it is likely in that in the next 24 hours I will take a shower and clean up after the cats.
I was looking forward to 2024 and on January the 1st, Japan had an earthquake. I have stopped making plans
My fun fact at one team building thing was "I work at the library" which would have been a super fun fact, if it wasn't a library staff team building thing.
I had a similar one. My go-to is "I like to make video games in my spare time" but then we were doing a meet-and-greet at a game jam so I was like, "I make games! Oh right so do all of you. Well, I'm out of ideas."
Load More Replies...does anyone else completely forget everything about themselves when asked questions? like somebody will be like "what's your favourite movie" and my brain goes "I HAVE NEVER WATCHED A MOVIE IN MY LIFE"
The best way to deal with these questions is to have a designated answer, it doesn't necessarily have to be true, just something that sounds cool.
Load More Replies...Luckily I had some warning of this, so I could think of something good but actually true
i cried cuz we were out of peanut butter lmao
Load More Replies...First quarter was fine, it was the second quarter when it really went to s**t >_<
They only need to keep you alive long enough to successfully reproduce. After that you're yesterday's TV listings.

This post is 100% accurate. Our brains are made to survive, not thrive! But there is a way we can tap into this negative superpower for our benefit! Example: say you want to be happier! Simply Imagine all the things an unhappy person does and write them down! "Drinking, smoking, not excercising, not meeting friends regularly,...." Your brain will easily find characteristics of an unhappy person. Then, simply start doing all the inverse things of the things you have written down. "Drink less, stop smoking, go for a daily walk, meet up with different friends once a week,...." this is just an example, you can do this with so many things in your life. Another example: say you want to be a gardener but have no idea where to start. Well, what would a bad gardener do?....... I know this will probably get buried but i started doing this and my life has improved dramatically. Feel free to share this advice.
If you are a mentally healthy person in a stable environment this may or may not work. For every clinicaly depressed panda out here this was a kick in the face

One of my cats is her own niece. One of her middle names is Antigone for this reason.
Ick...no! Dust mites, cat paws, cat tongue lapping up the water...and that is only after an hour.
I had to buy covers for my glasses as there’s nothing worse than getting a lovely fresh glass of water to find a cat’s head in it a minute later, despite their own fresh water away from their food bowls, from the same tap!
Load More Replies...Not very long. I do not want to drink dead skin cells & cat hair coated water.
Exactly why I use a water bottle. With a nice secure top on it.
Load More Replies...I don't like my drinks to be super cold, but I don't want my water to be room temperature either. I'll use a water glass for a full week, but it needs fresh water each time I drink and the occasional light rinse.
Should only leave it for a day if you drank out of it due to bacteria buildup from saliva
A friend of mine told me about all of the things she was doing for her children for Christmas, and without thinking, I just said: “God, I always hated Christmas so much when I was a child.” And when I saw the shocked look on her face, I was just as shocked to realise for the first time how shocking a statement that actually is. But yeah, Christmas was not a good time in my family.
Christmas is where the divide between what is and what should be is at it's highest level.
Actually, when I turned 12, that was my first year of my life when nothing bad happened. The only year so far.
It constantly amazes me when people talk about being happy at some point in their childhood.
When you're the one doing all the work to make the holiday magical, it becomes less magical to you over time.
Pathetic. 12? HA MY PARENTS HAVENT BEEN PARENTS SEEN I WAS 5 SUCKER
I was so unhappy when I was 12. My life as an adult is so much better now
Every morning, the 21 year old inside of me looks at the 60 year old in the mirror and says "What the f**k happened?"
Load More Replies...wait until you hit 50, in some places the age bracket is just written as "50+" like once you turn 50 you might as well be 94.
Website: "Select your age range." Me: "Why are you forcing everyone with arthritis to scroll a zillion times?!"
Wait to fall into pieces after 40.... Never visited docs and specialists so much on the last three years
well, well, well, if it isnt the consequences of my own decision to stay up til 4am
But, but, but that's the only time I have free & quiet
Load More Replies...Well seeing as basically my entire family has decided that being awful to me for being myself is okay, I would welcome that. As long as my wife gets to enjoy it with me.
If my childhood were to flash before my eyes before i die i would be happy to die
It does get censored, that's why some people use 'unalive', because the censor doesn't recognize that, apparently.
Load More Replies...Aaaand just like that, I'm gonna put my phone on the charger and snuggle with my amazing fiancé and talk about weekend plans. Thanks BP. 👍. Good looking out. 🙂
I tell u what will flash before your eyes..it's not memes, it's not your life or memories, it's what all the other people felt due to your actions...all of it, the good and the bad. And you are stripped of your ego so you have no excuses but face it. Been there. Got revived.
What you see from the day you're born to the day you die IS the memories of your past life
For my generations ads either took you to virus.attack sites or were themselves viruses like pop-ups that just generate more pop-ups so for us "ad-blocking" software is really first line anti-virus anti-malware that eliminates 99.9% of problems.
I had to switch browsers on Bored Panda due to anti-adblock popups. I don't have an adblocker, but when I open Bored Panda on Firefox, it thinks I do.
Load More Replies...If this were true then I would turn off my ad blockers and go on a rampage on YouTube
In Michigan we have a commercial with a guy who is supposed to be a retiree advertising a health insurance supplement provider/facility. This silly assed guy spends the whole commercial either dancing, waving his feet around or in general, acting like he has TD. Whoever signed off on that STUPID ad should spend the rest of their life starting at it. Old people don't jump up on step stools, we don't get out of a van dancing all the way into the doctors office. What are these people thinking?
We all need empathy. Empathy for others and from ourself to ourself.💜
There is no perpetual motion, so earth's orbit is decaying and we are plunging into the sun, though slowly.
Then try your best on finding the strength and courage to turn around and walk the opposite side, which is up

Not a problem. Because I KNOW the giant tits have already been noticed and appreciated
Giant t*ts are all well and good but when your youth goes they become a tripping hazard
…i’m sorry but ayesha erotica just came into my head in that one song when she says “with these double a cup tits”
Wait...The period placement has me uncertain whether to say "Good for you!" or "well, good for you, me too."
Load More Replies...ahh 2020, almost four years before the Stanley Cup craze. Life was simpler/cheaper for many people then.
The gas price was literally 90 cents (Canadian) per litre where I live in 2020. It was crazy. (Right now it’s about 1$ 75 cents for comparison)
Load More Replies..."Maybe Smith & Wesson could become very close friends of me afterall"
We didn't ask to be born. Knowing what I know, after so many years, I would choose not to be born.
I told mother I didn't ask to be born and she laughed, 'Of course you did!', meaning the labour. She also had a dream her father sent me, and angel, to carry mother to heaven when she didn't want to live anymore. If that's true, I'll have words with grandfather after my death.
Bet that girl who said super troopers has no real friends
I can't be the only one that was persistently reminded by my parents to be thankful they shat me into this hellhole we call world 😮💨😔
My parents sent each other birds from across the room when they thought we weren't looking
You serious. That would freak me out. Just chilling on the couch watching tv with your dad and suddenly a pidgeon or titmouse or sum sh*t zooms from the kitchen past your face!!
Load More Replies...This is it. Just doing pointless s**t to distract from intense panic and it not working.

I don't think that pigeons would find swans attractive. They might rather go for seagulls.
I saw a seagull trying to swallow a pigeon, fast bc it thought I would take it away.

That’s an awful thing to say to say to someone.
