This heartbreakingly hilarious GIF originates from a viral 2017 news interview with a young boy named Andrew Macias. On his first day of pre-kindergarten, a reporter asked him if he would miss his mom, to which he bravely replied 'No,' before immediately bursting into tears while still trying to maintain that he was 'fine' and happy. The contrast between his verbal claim to be okay and his visible, overwhelming sadness became an instant internet sensation. It is used to represent any situation where someone is clearly not okay but is trying to put on a brave face to keep things moving. It perfectly encapsulates the 'adulting' experience of being under massive stress or dealing with a crisis while still trying to tell people 'I'm fine' at work or in social settings. It is a symbol of vulnerable resilience and the sheer absurdity of trying to suppress our emotions when they’ve clearly won the battle.
