    Haven’t had a day off in weeks, yet somehow still alive 🌵

General

Can express dry humor, stubbornness, or a “don’t need much to thrive” attitude. It also appears in posts about succulents, minimalism, or sunny weather.

Cross-cultural

In Mexico, 🌵 connects strongly with national imagery and pride, since the cactus appears on the country’s flag. It symbolizes endurance, strength, and identity.

Heads-up

🌵 sometimes implies loneliness or “deserted” feelings in memes or chats, so be mindful of the tone when using it in emotional contexts.
