Some netizens shared what they have been doing, and most people are not so feeling great. Many have been going through a rough time, even if it’s personal, work, or relationship. Oh, maybe we can altogether do our 11:11 wishes for everyone to feel better soon.

Elmo we are tired

Others went reminiscing about enjoying Sesame Street way back, and now, joining the workforce does not fit really well with ‘enjoying.’ 

It's been a tough time since we left the street and entered the workforce, Elmo

We’re okay…. But why’d you go and make the streets look fun and inspiring…. This world don’t like us Elmo 😭

There are a lot more replies on X, so if you wish to check them out, just head to original Tweet. While many memes were shared, many were also honest with how they’re feeling right now. We genuinely wish that we could overcome the tough times, and as Elmo said, “Life is similar to a movie where you need to write your very own ending.”
