The image circulated on Tumblr and Twitter starting around 2015, becoming the go-to meme for quiet sadness, nostalgic longing, and introspective moments that hit you on a random Tuesday. This is a completely different Kermit energy from the tea-sipping \"But That's None of My Business\" format, which is about judgment. Window Kermit is about feeling things you did not plan on feeling. For other melancholy formats, see Squidward Window (envious longing) or Grant Gustin Next to Grave (visiting what you lost).","format":"classic","howToMake":["Kermit is already at the window.

Rain slides down the outside of the pane in visible streaks. Kermit's posture is slumped, contemplative, the unmistakable body language of someone lost in a thought they did not invite. The lighting is dim and grey. There is no tea, no shade, no judgment. Just a frog and his feelings.","definition":"Kermit the Frog stares out a rain-covered window in quiet contemplation. Top text names the wistful thought or bittersweet memory. Bottom text adds the detail that makes it hit. The format exists for the feelings that catch you off guard when you are alone with nothing to distract you.","useCases":[{"category":"Nostalgia & Memory","examples":["HEARING A SONG / THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO A SPECIFIC CAR RIDE IN 2016","FINDING AN OLD PHOTO / OF A GROUP OF FRIENDS YOU DON'T TALK TO ANYMORE","SMELLING A PERFUME / THAT SOMEONE YOU USED TO KNOW WORE","DRIVING PAST YOUR OLD SCHOOL / AND REALIZING HOW SMALL IT LOOKS NOW","SCROLLING PAST AN OLD TEXT CONVERSATION / WITH SOMEONE WHO ISN'T IN YOUR LIFE ANYMORE"]},{"category":"Relationship Reflections","examples":["SEEING YOUR EX / IS HAPPY WITH SOMEONE ELSE","REMEMBERING THE EXACT MOMENT / YOU REALIZED IT WAS OVER","THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID / 3 YEARS AGO","THE RESTAURANT YOU USED TO GO TO TOGETHER / CLOSED DOWN"]},{"category":"Late Night Overthinking","examples":["LYING AWAKE WONDERING / IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE YOU OR JUST TOLERATE YOU","REMEMBERING SOMETHING EMBARRASSING / FROM 2011 AT 2AM FOR NO REASON","3AM AND YOUR BRAIN DECIDES / TO REPLAY EVERY MISTAKE YOU MADE THIS YEAR","THINKING ABOUT HOW FAST / THE LAST 5 YEARS WENT"]},{"category":"Growing Up & Adulting","examples":["REALIZING THE \"OLDER KIDS\" / YOU LOOKED UP TO WERE ONLY 15","WHEN YOUR FAVORITE CHILDHOOD SHOW / ENDED 10 YEARS AGO AND YOU JUST FOUND OUT","YOUR PARENTS ARE THE AGE / YOUR GRANDPARENTS WERE WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE","THE LAST TIME YOU PLAYED OUTSIDE / WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING"]},{"category":"Pets & Animals","examples":["FINDING A TOY / THAT BELONGED TO A PET WHO PASSED AWAY","YOUR DOG WAITING BY THE DOOR / FOR SOMEONE WHO MOVED OUT","LOOKING AT OLD PHOTOS / OF YOUR PET WHEN THEY WERE A PUPPY","THE SPOT ON THE COUCH / WHERE YOUR CAT USED TO SLEEP"]},{"category":"Seasonal & Weather","examples":["THE FIRST COLD DAY OF FALL / THAT MAKES YOU MISS LAST SUMMER","RAIN ON A SUNDAY / WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO AND NOWHERE TO BE","THE LAST WARM EVENING / BEFORE WINTER ARRIVES","WATCHING THE SUN SET / AND REALIZING THE DAYS ARE GETTING SHORTER","A GREY AFTERNOON / THAT MATCHES YOUR ENTIRE MOOD PERFECTLY"]}]}}
