These memes caught my eye on a Facebook group I follow and I like the idea of using emojis to represent my daily struggles/ life being diabetic. Using emojis relates to a contemporary society who are obsessed with the world of social media. This reminded me of my off the page script
You don’t understand- One woman who’s tired of being mucked about by the male species.
Through her eyes, experience the paranoid state of a contemporary relationship.
Stalking, suspicion, insecurity and more stalking. Are females mad or maybe merely misunderstood?
I like the style I wrote this script in- fasts paced monologues, short one word dialogues to myself, the use off referring to numbers that represented being rated as a 3/10 looks wise, which I could use in relation to numbers of my blood results and units of insulin. Also the use of making reference to memes that girls always share “relationship quotes”. I could use funny quotes I’ve heard throughout my life as well as looking on social media for funny quotes/ poems.
“Roses are red,Violets are blue.Your pancreas is dead,Your body hates you”
“Thank you for sticking with me through all the highs and lows.”
I could use being diabetic as a metaphor for the constant struggle to find love as well like my off the page script- needing insulin/needing love, highs and lows of sugar levels/ highs and lows of dating. However this would maybe take the attention off my main goal which is for people to understand type one diabetes and the struggle of every day life, if I linked it with my script of being messed around by the male species it would be even more autobiographical and lose the education side, as I would like my piece to reach others with diabetes and reflect aspects of their lives too.
But I definitely like the idea of simple but eye catching emojis which people will recognise.
