Some memes are unforgettable.

Sometimes you just gotta move and groove. You've had a rough day, and you want to be set free from it. There are a few things you can do in this scenario. You can roll over and lean into the muck and spend all day in bed watching YouTube videos you don't really want to watch. Or you could try to do something about it. You could scrape together your sense of self, put on your shoes, and go for a walk. Nothing wrong with going for a walk, right? It will do wonders for yourself and your psyche. And then you can start to think about what you might want out of the day, now that your mind is a little clearer. You've gotten the spiderwebs out of the kitchen; now you can think about cooking.

And what do we want to do more than laugh? Laughter is literally the best medicine. Have you ever felt bad while laughing? There's a reason we do it to release tension. It's because it makes us feel better. But sometimes a friend isn't around to make you smile. Sometimes you need to reach out to the internet for your humor. You want to outsource the laughs. This is where memes come in. Memes only exist to make you laugh. That's why we keep coming back to them. Because they make us feel good. They make us feel marginally better about our surroundings and ourselves. And isn't that about all we can ask for these days? So if that sounds like something you need, then keep scrolling.
