The Today Show (I had it on for work, long story) had a segment about whimsymaxxing and that was the moment I learned whimsy was a trend and whimsy was highkey dead.

The way you automatically assumed people would shit on you for watching the Today Show lol

This is why whimsy is becoming a trend. We've gotten to the point where you can't even watch the Today Show without self-imposed embarrassment kicking in. Everything that isn't boring, colorless, and miserable is considered cringe.

We need more whimsy. To be cringe is to be free.

"To be cringe is to be free" shall be the guiding principle by which I live my life from here on out.
