- maybe this is because I no longer browse memes.
|

not on our friend circle's private Discord, not on Reddit, pretty much nowhere

- memes largely arrive to me directly from specific people.
|
||
|
|
I don't go out to kill boredom with memes anymore.

- ...don't tell anyone, but I like it that way.

I can focus on my art and making it unique.
