When life gives you lemons, what do you do? You turn them into memes! Duh. Everybody knows that. Your little niece even knows that! And your therapist definitely knows that. They are rooting for you, and if that means turning your life turmoils into internet humor, then heck yes, brother. At least you're acknowledging it. That's the first step! 

What's the next step? Well, I'm not a doctor, but I would say it's to find joy. And what better way to get that dopamine flowing than looking at memes? Memes make you laugh, and laughter brings some chemical balance to your body. If I were a doctor, I would most definitely prescribe you memes and also for you to send me the memes because lol same.

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, lemons to lemonades bla bla bla. Did you know that lemons are a man-made cross-bred? Yep, humanity created its own lemons, which is almost too obvious a metaphor. Oh, we created our own problems??? Tell me something I don't know. 

    But we also created memes, and that is a positive. Honestly, humor is what keeps the world going round. Some people say love, but what is love without laughter? Some say money, but money is boring, and please don't make me do math. I just want to sit on a warm rock by a creek, eat some berries, and laugh with my friends.

  • If any of you are a fan of my writing on this site and follow me (lol it's the internet, you're all mean), then you know I have been in therapy for a while now. And I am a big fan of it! I mean, look at me! I could be living in my parents' basement, letting the darkness consume me, but instead, I have become the sweet treat for the darkness, and now I get paid to look at memes all day! I'd say I'm living the dream. Maybe not so much my dream, but someone's dream, and that's pretty sick to think about. So read on, my loyal fans, and enjoy the memes! And maybe schedule that therapy appointment…
