Pictures of cute animals like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous for overworked adults doubting the value of their own freedom. A tiny thing being taken care of that can fall out of a box without it being cause for concern about your state of mind or medical condition. Wild island pigs as aspirational existentialism. Let us be this, when abandoned by our parents: wild and free but relaxed, all our needs cared for. Our part of the bargain is merely to be charming. And wouldn’t we just be charming as hell unburdened of all these worries and cares? Let us be hedgehogs praised for trapping our heads in cardboard tubes. Let us be dogs widely beloved for tumbling to the ground. Let us be balls of fluff trapped within walls of protective affection, rather than these responsibilities to ourself and others.
