'Scrolling before going back to work': 23 Memes that are as funny as they are goofy

We all need a little silliness from time to time.

If you're not out here being silly, then what are you doing? We all need a little outlet every now and again. And by every now and again, I mean all the time. We need to make sure we're letting the valve out and getting all of our serious energy out of the way. We have to be serious all the time, and frankly, I'm tired of it. I want to cut loose and cut a rug. I want to put on my dancing shoes and act like it's Friday. I want to wear a fun outfit and hit the town. But the town does not always beckon, so memes will sometimes have to do. Memes can be like a little party all to yourself from the comfort of your computer screen.

In these dark and dreary winter months, there is not a lot that keeps us going. The things that we might usually enjoy, like taking long walks or going to the beach or sitting outside at a restaurant… those are taken away from us. We're left isolated in our little bubbles, forced to interact with the outside world sparingly. This can get a person down if you're not careful. It can take you to the dumps and leave you there, and you can't remember what you like about life anymore. Winter will take away the verve of even our strongest soldiers. But it's not going to last forever.

Luckily, we have some coping mechanisms to help us through it. We have ways we can keep on trucking even when the odds seem stacked against us. We have ways we can beat the rising tides of boredom. We have methods to keep the dreariness at bay. Memes are a prime example of this. Memes distract us from whatever else might be going on in our lives. They keep us on our toes, and they keep us laughing. Plus, they make us feel like we're a part of something larger. So if you're in need of that today, then you've found yourself in the right place.
