Labubus and Loneliness: A Journey with Depression
Author Kaylee Nguyen reflects on her experience with depression and finding small joys.
Nguyen's fascination with Labubus, furry creatures on bright pink backpacks, began on Vietnamese TikTok.
Her friends tease her about her obsession, calling it "ABG-maxxing" and "contributing to consumerism."
It was never really about the toy. It was about the thrill of wanting, of distracting the voices in my head with something furry and ridiculous.
- Nguyen finds solace in obsessing over the Energy Series and AliExpress buyers.
- She also scrolls through people on dating apps like Hinge.
