TFW your shadow looks exactly like Rihanna

It's seriously uncanny....

You know when you look at your shadow and realize it's a dead ringer for a pop star? That hasn't happened to you? Oh.

Well, it happened to Leilani on Sunday afternoon after a photo of her shadow's uncanny resemblance to Rihanna's profile went viral on Twitter.

"[Throwback] to when I was high and noticed my shadow looked like Rihanna," Leilani tweeted, including a screenshot from Snapchat that lo and behold, features a Rihanna-looking shadow.

If you look at a profile of RiRi it's hard to miss her likeness in Leilani's shadow.

Need more proof? Here's a side by side comparison.

But as someone pointed out, maybe this is all just a distraction from the fact that Rihanna looks like her shadow—not the other way around.

Stay woke, everyone. Stay woke.
