Focusing on What's Meant For You: Reflections on the Disloyal Boyfriend Meme with Darnell Gilet

Send a textMemes: Distracted Boyfriend Meme - "So this meme is the meme where you have one guy that's walking down the street with his girlfriend holding her hand, but he's looking, looking over his left shoulder back to another girl that caught his attention. So it's a very popular meme that people use. And then the people usually put words over it where essentially the way people use that meme is you have something that's yours, but there's something that's not yours that's catching your attention. But the thing that's in your hand is looking at you feeling neglected."Join our Facebook group to be part of the conversation and view the meme for this episode or you can follow us on Instagram @memesmetaphorsandmagic.

It's about timing and there's a sense of anxiety and you want things.""A ship in the harbor is safe but that is not what ships are built for." - John A.
