Going feral, want anything?

It's one thing to feel out of control; it's another thing to feel feral. When I feel out of control, I feel like I don't even know myself anymore. It's kind of sad, actually. But when I feel feral! Oh baby, when I feel feral, the world is about to get their baddie back. I have complete control; I just have every emotion heightened, and all of my inhibitions weakened. Anything can happen! Is it for the plot? Or was it written in my destiny by the universe herself? There is no way of telling.

If you relate to everything I just said above, then this is your sign to schedule that therapy appointment, bestie. Here are some memes of encouragement!

Why say more words with less do trick?

Discovering yourself and understanding your dark and light sides is not an easy task to achieve. I read somewhere that every animal is born with their best defense mechanism: horses can run, turtles can scoot and swim, rabbits can hop, etc. Do you know what defense mechanism humans are born with? That means the first line of defense for humans, the defense that is written into our instincts since birth, is to ask for help.
That's right, our most instinctive form of defense is to cry out and ask for help. So why are you sitting home alone and hiding during your most difficult hours? You're wasting your instincts! Go ask for help. Ask a friend, a family member, a loved one, or a therapist. Heck, I recommend reaching out to all of them!
If you fear being a burden on the ones you love, then we recommend a therapist. It's not always easy to find one you immediately click with. I went through five different therapists before I landed on the one I have now had for over half a decade. And during the search, it was brutal, but I am so glad I stuck with it.
No, I have a therapist who understands me. She loves that I use memes and humor to express some of my most sensitive emotions.

It's okay if you need to take your time when times are tough. That's why memes are so helpful; they encourage laughter. You think “LOL” came from a therapist? No! It came from you and me on the internet, trying to connect and express ourselves any way we can.

Laughter therapy is a real thing! We're not just looking at memes to waste time, though that is sometimes the reason. That is fine too, though! Sometimes you need to waste some time in order to relax. Anyways, laughter is proven to boost all these natural feel-good chemicals in your body that help you feel happy. That is a real dumbed-down description of the science, but you came here for memes, so I'm trying not to get too technical here. I just want everyone to find balance in their life, and that means you have to include laughter in your daily routine!

I hope these little LOLs brought little joys to your day. Maybe you could even the ones you found the most relatable to your therapist? Your humor tells a lot about who you are, and isn't that what it's all about? Understanding yourself and helping yourself grow however you need to? I'd like to think so, and I like to think these memes agree with me.
