Before I began the REAL story, I will have to explain some filler knowledge that led up to this chaotic piece of my personal hell. It will be a tad cringey at first, but it's the truth, and nothing more.
My meme page, unlike many others, was not exactly a meme page to begin with. My page was nothing more than a normal page I suppose. I used to hate social media, I was simply a kid and I all needed was Roblox, Skype, Facebook, and a bag of Cheetos.
I started my page back in 2014, the day I gave into social media. I downloaded so much random shit, I knew NOTHING about. Me and one of my best friends did this at the same time, we stopped being huge losers and became normal losers that day.
My page consisted of things outside I took pictures of, that's it. It slowly started growing into random astrology posts or Homestuck shit (yes cringey I know.) I wasn't a fandom page, or any type of page by any means. I had my name as whologystuck once, these were dark times. Luckily I grew out of that.
In that time period I used extremely deformed pictures of the crippled kid in Homestuck as my pfp. So after that my user was changed to fetuspomnies. This was the time I started to get more interested in memes. My profile picture for a while was Martin Freeman flipping off the camera on the set for The Hobbit. My thing for that was "Bilboob Faggins." After that, it was Cicero from skyrim. My gag for that was "Cicero's bbc." I occasionally posted memes then. These two pfp cycles were when I started to post memes sometimes.
I was in a relationship with someone at the time that said something insulting me involving my humour. (They said I wasn't funny pretty much.) I'm gonna leave out details of everything else, but that really hurt me Tbh.
So after we broke up, I had posted this stupid video, pretty much considered a normie meme. It wasn't even that funny, I just tagged my friend in it. Some how this video got 2000+ views and tons of likes overnight and I still to this day don't know how. I only had around 500 followers. (they were all bots or inactive.) I got around 10 likes per thing as well.
So this attention gave me this motivation. I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt this horrible need to go and prove my ex wrong about my humour, if I can make 2000+ people laugh, then how are they right? Somewhere in that time I changed my user to my current, ripheadphoneusers. I then started to post memes. I didn't care about not having a lot of active followers, I was happy with what I was doing. So sometime around April is when I changed my pfp to "goggles dog." This was a huge step for me. I was invested with my page, and little did I know that soon I would be more invested then I have ever been.
