Hearing The Key In The Door Every Evening Was My Own “Afghanistan”

Hearing The Key In The Door Every Evening Was My Own “Afghanistan” is a prevalent Twitter copypasta inspired by a woman who declared, during the 2021 Taliban Offensive In Afghanistan , that she did not care about Afghanistan because she "grew up with an alcoholic, psychologically abusive father in a constant state of anxiety about the future." She then said, "Hearing the key in the door every evening was my own "Afghanistan" for almost 20 years." The quote is also used as a phrasal template meme in which people use Hearing The Key In The Door Every Evening Was My Own X and replace "Afghanistan" in the original text.
