Sometimes all that's keeping you afloat is a good meme. The strings of your sanity are being tugged and one foul move could snap one. To the internet you come running, with searching eyes, looking for something to save you. And that's nothing to be ashamed of. There, there.

January dawns, the air is chilled, and we're settling into a boring, but potentially beautiful month. The holiday mania has died down, and we're left staring down the barrel of a gray stretch of nothingness. Nobody really makes big plans in January, so it's an even keel as far as the eye can see. There's something peaceful about that-- no great heights to achieve, just a life to be lived, simply. So let these memes be the stars in your night sky this week. And hang in there, champ.
