Heal yourself harder

The serie explores the aesthetics and ideology of positive thinking as one of the dominant narratives of the contemporary internet. It is a world where empathy has been replaced by affirmation, and social responsibility by coaching-style individualism. Phrases like "everything happens for a reason," "be grateful for the lesson," and "manifest abundance" have become a new language of spirituality and emotion that conceals more than it reveals. Suffering no longer requires understanding—it requires an attitude adjustment.
