The whole thing is grim.
Like we, you know, it is like water cooler stuff, right.
You know, and you can sort of like have a little bit of a, you know, the, the stuff, the Victoria Beckham wedding stuff is sort of funny, like all the memes and everything going around.
But like behind it, obviously there's just like, Oh God.
Yeah.
Like,
there's been no sense of normality in some people's lives in any way.
They've never had a sort of a, well, you define a normal upbringing and like any, have they ever done anything in their life that hasn't been calculated around their image?
Like from the start, it's terrible when you think, when you step back from it and look at it that way.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, sometimes I find myself torn about a little bit of that stuff too, just in the sense that people don't, you know, take photos and develop them anymore.
And sometimes I realise now that parts of my life are chronicled, maybe not with the kids stuff, but just on those platforms.
Because you don't have the old photos that you look at.
And if a phone is wiped or something is lost, you lose all these...
memories you know and sometimes you you like having a recognition of certain events in places sometimes during the cloud though yeah there are cloud i know and like well this thing i've i've had issues with losing stuff over the years and sometimes it's like it's nice to like you know email stuff to yourself sometimes or whatever and i can see how sometimes you're like you're just you're marking an event you know you can sometimes live to i don't know
it's a delicate one but obviously yeah you just relax everyone put up the odd photo yeah I think there is an element sometimes of I appreciate the worst case scenarios are the worst case scenarios and look I just do stuff with like close friends sometimes and that's the way I would do it but
Yeah, it's a delicate one.
You know, I keep in touch with sometimes, there's people in my life who I see them put up stuff with their kids and it's great because that's how I keep in touch with them.
No, it's true.
We're not close enough that we would ever necessarily, you know, send WhatsApps and go, how are you getting on?
