Here’s a thing my brain served up this morning, that I considered posting:
“I’m thinking of playing an April Fools joke on my therapist later this morning.”
I’m definitely not doing that. But my brain thinks it is funny, and it has a habit of doing this, creating joke-shaped things.
But it’s not diegetically funny (not funny in the scenario it creates), and I am finding it (a product of my own head) distasteful outside the scenario too. This may be due to being a bit more aware of my emotional states and their subtle shades of meaning. Or just empathy for the me-in-the-joke and the therapist-in-the-joke.
If it’s a joke, it is of the unexpected transgression type.
I’m not sure how I feel about it, and this is a failed attempt to work it out. But in any case, through this meta-analysis I have succeeded in posting it. 😕
