What is your exit plan?

Everyone has one. It's that plan you have in the back of your mind that you return to when you get sick of regular life. It's in the back of your mind, and you access it when you need to feel calm. You might not ever plan on going through with it, but it's there for you to think about when you need to. Maybe you're going to throw it all away to start a sheep farm in New Zealand. Or maybe you're going to fritter away your nights as a jazz singer in a cabaret, being paid in martinis. Or maybe you'll throw all of your life's savings into an old PT cruiser and hit the highway without looking back. We all have our little fantasies about leaving polite society behind. It's fun to get caught up in that world and see where it takes you. Freedom is a tempting idea. These memes understand that. These memes came from all over the internet and they have one common goal: to make you laugh. It's a huge undertaking. There is not a ton of stuff to laugh about these days, and there is plenty that is unfunny. But these images hope to rise above that and show you a side of life that is a little lighter and a little more fun. So if that's what you need today, then you're in the right place. Memes will never try to betray you. They will only try to make you smile. So keep scrolling and enjoy it.
