From recruiters to romantic flops, why is ghosting the new normal? And why does Día de los Muertos feel a little too relevant this year?
It’s wild how life keeps you guessing. I’ve learned that just when you think things are going somewhere—boom, you’re left on read. Whether it’s that recruiter promising, “You’re the perfect fit!” or the nobody-wannabe, 0 a la izquierda acquaintance you finally considered giving a shot (and for what?). One day you’re dreaming about the perfect project or maybe a spontaneous road trip adventure, and the next, all you’re left with is silence. Like, excuse me? Did I miss something, or did you just vanish into thin air?
I should have known better, right? At this point, ghosting should come with a certificate of completion. You know how it goes: you send in that portfolio, spend hours on a project (that you definitely won’t get paid for), and then… nada. No email. No “thanks but no thanks.” Just crickets. Shout out to Leo Burnett’s recruiter for at least giving me a shot. But the rest? It’s like they pulled a disappearing act straight out of Houdini’s playbook.
And now, we’ve got Mr. Nobody doing the same. When I finally thought, “Okay, this guy it’s actually pretty cool,” he decides to play Casper. No explanation, no heads-up. Just vanished. It’s honestly impressive. The dedication to being a nobody is strong here. But let’s be real—who’s got time to sit around waiting for a ghost to reappear? Not me.
Every ghost👻 story just adds to the adventure, and honestly, the next one could be a lot more fun anyway.
💀 Happy Halloween & Día de los Muertos🎃!
