Sometimes, being human is too… human-y.

You get up in the morning to the sound of your alarm clock, you make yourself a cup of coffee in a rush, and barely get to drink it before you need to run out of the house to catch that annoying bus to work. Rinse, repeat. It's like the human existence is stuck in a loop that doesn't leave a lot of room to do anything different. Like taking a relaxing breath. Or roar randomly because you like to.

But there's a place where you can do just that. Nature. And oh boy, do mother nature provides - forests to take a breath of fresh air in, oceans to swim and forget the world that's up above, skies to watch from above and gain perspective on life, and deserts to scream into the void and let the sand winds carry your voice away.

Nature is awesome, but we're stuck in our modern human existence loop. But that's why nature sends her best agents of chaos and comedy our way - wholesome wildlife memes. They're nature's way to get the message to us while we're all stuck in the rush of society, the pace of work, and life in general.

    If bears are so dangerous then explain this!
    via @PostingCuteness

  • Unexplainable. No logic whatsoever. If friend-shaped, why not friend?

    If an animal is very fluffy - we should be able to pet them, run our hands through their soft fur, and have them enjoy the scritchies. If an animal if very round - they should be huggable on sight, with us wrapping our hands around them for comfort and coziness to the maximum. If an animal is friend-shaped - we should be able to befriend them, because having animal friends is not just good for your Disney princess goals, it's also great for the soul.

    So, bears? They are friends. By all means and parameters, bears should be our BFFs.

  • So that's why Pikachu is so special. He's based on an incredible animal that can have a whole mountain range in their eyes. And one that's also incredibly cute. Can we also befriend a pika? Pika please?
