There's not much we can rely on in this cold and cruel world. A close friend and I were chatting recently (after copious amounts of wine) and she revealed to me the staggering number of married men that boldly slide into her dms as though they're single and ready to freaking mingle. I shared how many people had lied to me in the past couple years, and the duplicitous nature of some misguided friendships with narcissistic people. It wasn't a happy conversation. Despite all these breaches of trust and revealing of facts about some moral-deprived humans, there are a few constants that we return to when it feels like there's nothing left. The most dependable constants would have to be our pets. They don't get fickle with their love or decide they're leaving you for another woman. And then, of course, there's memes. Memes are super accessible. As long as you have an internet connection (or a phone of screenshots), you can take refuge in their easily consumed humor. So if you're feeling jaded or betrayed by the world, go pet a dog. And look at memes. It will probably help.
