Blog Post #4

 I found the videos and articles to be incredibly vulnerable with a touch of comedy. Subjects like this can be relatable to anyone and everyone. People can always experience strong emotions, but what I enjoyed about the pieces is the addition of humor. In “Adventures in Depression” by Allie Brosh, I found one portion to be very relatable. She speaks about how when one feels emotions of sadness theres this portion of self-pity that is quiet satisfying. But when one feels sadness for no reason it takes out that odd good feeling. I found this be relatable because I myself have questioned these emotions. I really enjoyed the poorly drawn cartoon graphics added, the expressions the character holds really captures the language that is being used. I also really enjoyed “How to Ruin Everything” by Watsky, from its witty humor and in depth details. I enjoyed that Watsky saw things for what they were, physically and the emotions they gave off. Its fast paced tempo and cringey commentary. I felt that the overall video captured the essence that we are all people drifting through life, but sometimes stopping to notice the details truly helps you understand the whole picture.
