Another week, another weekend for dopamine via funny memes!

Mother, I crave the serotonin. What is the difference between dopamine and serotonin? Can we get a neuroscientist on the phone, please? Until that happens (which it will in, like, half an hour once I'm done writing this post and calling my neuroscientist mom…) we have memes to make your brain happy. Need that little extra boost to keep you going this weekend? We gotchu! May we offer you some memes during these trying times? It's not much, but it gets the job done. And it's honest work! I think… Memes are chill, right? A LOL here and there never hurt anyone. So let us LOL!

In fact, we might argue that laughter is the best medicine or even the best defense against your enemies. Why? Because when you are able to laugh in the midst of adversity, then you can do anything. It really shows a true strength of power and confidence when you can laugh your troubles away. We're not saying don't take those inner demons seriously! We're just saying that life is not all that serious. You have to stop and scroll the memes sometimes!

  • Did you have a long and difficult week? It's kind of hard not to these days. You could literally spend your day in bed, not getting into any trouble, but trouble will find you. Just a single scroll on the internet can have you locked into a dark place of bummer headlines and cruel trolls. But that's not what this world is about, and don't you forget it! Remember that no matter what happens, we still have our humor. And that has to count as something, right?

  • Before you go out into the world and try your darnedest to make it a better place, let yourself LOL. Send a few memes into your friends' DMs, smirk to yourself while you think, “omg that is so me,” and then carry on. As long as you remember that smile, your happy place, or a meme that gives you the giggles, then you'll be okay! Happiness is contagious, remember? So enjoy these memes to the max!
