"I'll keep all my emotions right here, and then one day I'll die."
- John Mulaney

This quote makes me laugh, but also connect to in a weird/sad kind of way. I chose it because I think it’s a very fitting example of dark humour while also being relatable. Also, I just really like John Mulaney, he’s hilarious. Even though I’m neither white, male, or Catholic, John Mulaney says things that somehow universally relate to a lot of younger people. This quote is from a bit where he talks about how Irish people bottle up the feelings, and while I’m not Irish, I can still relate it to my own experiences of general expression of emotions (very limited).

I feel like overall, the society around me is starting to favor opening up and embracing your emotions, even those with negative connotations, but there’s still reservation around it because no one’s actually going to tell you how they are. I could connect this quote to larger ideas of mental health and depression, which are all topics I’m passionate about, but I don’t think that’s the purpose of this quote. Instead, this offers insight to my sense of humour and my emotional availability, but honestly it’s just a funny quote that I can identify with.
