Here’s a very 2020 thing I just learned about myself: this picture of the 8-year-old, 3rd grade version of me has been a meme FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as I can tell, past me has been living an internet-meme-life as Grayson, a creation of @TeenageStepdad, since at least 2017.
I first stumbled into Grayson on IG. Scrolling through stories, I see my picture pop up. It’s a truly bizarre experience to bump into a disconnected version of yourself out there in the wild. Even weirder when it leads down a meme rabbit hole.
Here are some of my favorite versions of me. Smoking atheist rebel. Grayson Von Chevrolet. Hot dogs and Carmen San Diego.
I mean, Grayson-me is even available as a t-shirt and works as a poster child for a Patreon tier. He’s living quite the life.
27 years ago, the only place this picture lived was on a wall by my grandma’s backdoor.
In maybe ~2008 I submitted it to a laser portrait themed tumblr blog called “We Have Lasers!!!!!!!!”. It’s had its own weird internet life since.

In conclusion, here’s a Q&A:
Do you care? No. But also yes, a lot.
Is it funny? Yes.
Do you know teenage stepdad? No, haven’t talked to him.
What r u gonna do about it? This twitter thread.
