Send this to your siblings so they can finally have an accurate picture of themselves.

When the week is almost coming to an end, and it has been a ride straight out of a horror story; or worse, when it has just started, and now you have to wait what feels like a thousand days for the weekend, and nobody around you really gets you, there is always an ostrich somewhere that can represent exactly the way you feel at heart.

Most likely, you have been in a situation in which you have to really work on controlling your facial muscles so that you don't end up with a clear-as-water reaction as someone shares the most unhinged idea at the weekly work meeting. You have to work even harder on your poker face when your least liked family member suddenly shows up at your door on your day off as a "pleasant" (and very much unexpected) surprise. We know you have to try hard to conceal the way you feel inside when the situation calls for it, and we also know that, sometimes, your emotions just come too quickly and show up on your face, with no chance to keep your usual stoic expression. Does this sound anything like you? We got you.

So, if you are type A, and have managed to construct and practice a flawless poker face for every awkward and uncomfortable occasion, and have become a pro at pretending not to be screaming inside, we have brought you 24 animal faces that will represent you when you cannot represent yourself. On the other hand, if you tend to be too honest for your own sake, and people can read you like an open book at every turn, we have completed a collection of hilarious animal pictures that will make you feel like you're not alone. As a third option, if you are none of the above but know someone who could really benefit from a little meme representation, please share this with them (we strongly recommend starting with your siblings; we know you can find them in this list no problem).
