There are other keywords, that might define the 21st century quite well. Just as the emoji rearranges the handling with feelings and the usage of pictures, there is a whole group of keywords that have to be rearranged. These keywords are, for example, foodporn, superfood, mingle, globalization, friend etc. No keyword stands alone, everything is in a certain connection with one another. There is a connection between emojis and blogs for instance. When you read blog entries, they are more or less always about the same subjects. Everyone wants to show their individuality, but actually, you could throw them in one pot, mix them around and it would all melt to one conclusion: only show happy things. Blogs don’t show the world, how it really is. They make you feel bad because you don’t have enough money to buy designer-bags. They make you feel fat, because you don’t have the trained body. They make you feel stupid, because you don’t know all those „important“ people they write about. The reader is constantly confronted with things how they should be. This is a frustrating thing and leads, in the worst cases, to anorexia, depression and addiction. #discrepancyoftheself

So what I want to show with such an innocent thing like an emoji, is that there is something like individuality, but that doesn’t always come with beauty, a good mood or the best decorated room. I am fighting for reality in the digital world.
