Sometimes you have to take your sweet time.

It's not always the fast lane, sometimes it's easy street. You can let go and relax a little if you'd like, and you don't need permission to. You can just kick the heck back and let the world unfurl in front of you at your own pace. Not every thing needs to be go go go all the time, it can be stop stop stop, and that is okay. Sometimes you need to take your foot off the gas and just cruise for a while. No need to force yourself into anything, you can just chill. You can take a chill pill, even. There are plenty of good ways to do that, and memes are one of them. Memes have a way of taking the edge off of everything. Memes are here for you no matter what, and they don't require anything of you other than your attention and your laughter.

Laughter is truly the best medicine. Imagine going through life never laughing. If you never laughed with a friend, at a show, or at a meme. Imagine how sad that would be. There would never be any reprieve. We would all just roll through life upset all the time, not knowing which way is up. We need laughter like we need food, shelter, and water. If we don't get it, things start to go wrong in the nervous system. So if you're wanting a little bit of that today, then you're in the right place.
