How are you doing? So-so? Not so good? Wondering when you enlisted to be the universe's strongest soldier? Yep, don't worry. You're not alone! 

The internet has a lot of dark places and toxic traits, but there is one magical trait that we can all agree is the best part: unity. You never feel alone on the internet because it turns out people are struggling the same way you are; these memes are proof! Your therapist would suggest journaling, meditating, or maybe talking to friends and family. However, it's 2026; you can do all of that while staring at a screen! Heck, you can even see your therapist through your screen. I guarantee you, whatever you are struggling with, there was someone who made a meme about it a decade ago. See? You're never alone! But you don't want to get caught in the doomscroll of it all, so take this finite list and make your therapist proud!

  • Having a conversation with your therapist is very different from having one with someone who is a part of your life. Heck, it's even different than having that one deep convo with that drvnk stranger at the bar. Those conversations are healing in different ways, but a therapist truly leads you to the epiphanies you need in life. It always amazes me when people are so against therapy. Like, aren't you the least bit curious about yourself? You really think you understand your own mind? That electric-powered mold of meat in your bone cage atop those rickety shoulders? Come on. There is so much more you could know about yourself! Why do you become an introvert when your older sister is around, even though all of your friends know you as an extravert? Why do you try so hard to make your dad proud but hardly notice when your mom tells you how proud she is? Why do all of your creative thoughts come to you between 2 and 4 AM? These are all questions a therapist can help you figure out. The best/worst part about a therapist is that they don't tell you the answer to these questions; that's actually not their job. However, they do guide you down the paths needed to have you figure out the answers to these questions yourself! It's so satisfying when you have that “wait… OMG!” moment. You could totally meme about that, and you should share that meme with your therapist!

    careerboyfriend dont let people tell u ur attraction to fire is "abnormal" or "hazardous" prometheus doesnt have his liver eaten every day for u to ignore the allure of arson Josh McGough @joshmcgoo. You need at least TWO episodes of intentional fire setting to diagnose pyromania. Everyone gets one freebie. Use it wisely.

  • In a world where the horrors persist, you must carry on! It isn't easy going through the cogs of societal norms every single day, but you know what can help? Laughter. What is life without laughter? What is joy without laughter? Heck, what is love without laughter? You really need to laugh every single day, even if it's just for a second. Memes are the perfect way to warm up that funny bone and make you feel better. Give a quick LOL scroll during your lunch break, or fill up your bestie's DMs when you get home from work. It's really all worth it in the end! Life when you laugh and share laughter is truly beautiful.
