When was the last time you told your bestie you appreciate them?

If it wasn't today, then it's already time. Time to tell your bestie how much you appreciate them in your life. Tell your family, your partner, your dog, whoever is your nearest and dearest, it's nice to remind them. We're all fools in love, even platonic love, so we have to let the ones close to us in our lives know how much we care for them. That we are thankful for their existence. And what says, "thank you, I love you," better than memes??

These 20+ memes are the most perfect little "thinking of you" note you could slide into someone's DMs. They fill the recipient with happiness and you with appreciation. You love them, besties, family, pets, whatever! They should feel that as much as they can. And yes, that means your pets, too! Even if they can't understand what the meme is, they're just happen to be included. They'll feel your love and appreciation through you simply showing them some weird lit-up square.

When my besties send me a meme that shows how much they care about me, it makes me squeal with happiness. Just imagine this: You're at work, and it's the middle of the day. The long meetings are starting to catch up with you, the caffeine you had this morning is starting to wear off, and the existential dread of how you're going to have to keep doing this the rest of your life is starting to sneak in. But then, oh wait, what's this? A meme from your bestie that says they love you, miss you, and can't wait to hang out with you at happy hour after work today. Joy restored!

Sure, memes aren't the same as a poem of declaration of love, but those can be too heavy sometimes. You don't want to stress out your besties; you just want to let them know that they are always a part of you. Memes are the perfect declaration of love in that sense. Not too intense, but the message is there. You love them and would do anything for them, but first, you want to make them LOL and put a smile on their face, even if you're not in the same room as them. We love a thankful meme, and we're thankful for them and the ability to send them to our besties to say thank you for existing… If that makes sense. Thank you!
