Sometimes the contents of a meme finds its way out of the confines of the pixeleted screen and into the real world. Such is the case with the Mexican-style blanket Selena Gomez wears in the photo she posted to her Instagram story last week, which has since been memed around the world.

Sometimes these existential questions can only be answered with an imaginative meme — and the internet delivered. Most users made up scenarios that would also put them in Gomez’s state of unbothered calm featured in the photo: “me after i won the idgaf war,”; me after having an emotional breakdown; peeta in that scene at the end of mockingjay pt. 2.”
Of course, the star of the meme (aside from the shimmering Fendi Baguette bag in the corner) is the blanket — and it’s currently available to order online for only $37. It’s currently available on both Amazon and directly on the brand’s website, lagunabeachtextileco.com.
