You know us millennials, we’re always checking in with each other. Gotta keep advocating for mental health, even when we’re living in a time where there’s no normal and no baseline and the notion of sanity is kind of laughable.
Maybe that’s why “Babe are you okay?” has become one of the defining memes of our era.
Take it away, people of Twitter.

Please and thank you.
