The one and only chance we get to be a brand new person is when we are born. After that, it's all about building on what has come before, for better or worse, and all of us have some kind of worse. Cheerful, right!?

If we are going to be motivational and life coach-y about it, we can say that any bad things that might happen can make us stronger if we know how to work with it. This is a meme site, though, so of course we're not going to do that.

Instead, our solution is ignoring any which way you may be messed up with memes. No-nonsense content, here to numb you to the reality of every not-so-enjoyable bit about being alive. Even better, sometimes they romanticize those parts. The only way to find out which option applies to this list is to scroll on. I have no doubt that you will.
