Are you ready? For what? Nobody knows. But, like, are you, though? Don't worry; you're not the only one worrying for inexplicable reasons. That seems to be part of the norm in society today. So cushion that big emotion with therapy and lots of LOLing.

Your therapist would agree; laughing is very important. It may not technically be the best medicine in Big Pharma; like, you're probably not going to be prescribed laughter when you come in with strep throat. However, it is the most perfect medicine for the heart. Well, not the physical heart, but the emotions you feel in your chest, stomach, throat, and head. Laughter can truly turn a dark day into a brighter one. Especially depending on who you are sharing that laughter with! Your therapist might help you figure out why you think daddy issue jokes are so funny, but they would never tell you to stop laughing at them. There is a time and place for seriousness, but if you are serious all of the time, that is a rough life. Embrace joy and laughter with memes! These specific memes can definitely help your therapist understand why you are the way you are.

Did you notice that tomorrow is Halloween? I friggin' love Halloween! Plus, the memes that come from costumes and the shenanigans you get into on Halloween night are simply unbeatable! This is like the Christmas of memes. People get so creative with their costumes. Like memes, the costume you choose can also help give some insight into who you are to your therapist. So why not combine the two? Send your therapist a meme based on your costume! You dress as the Babadook? Congrats on coming out! You were a mime and didn't talk all night? It's okay to be an introvert! I'm just proud you made it to the Halloween party. See? Funny and existential! Sorta. Whatever; memes and Halloween can be whatever you make them! That's the beauty behind spooky season and memes. What does your therapist have to say about that?

What are you being for Halloween this year? Is it memeable? Would your therapist understand why you chose that one? I bet they would. It's so nice having a therapist; I highly recommend it! I'm actually talking to mine later today. I started seeing her over half a decade ago because I was having some problems. Let's just say I kept forgetting a passed close one had passed, and that was weirding me out… Anyways, I worked my way through that and found laughter and joy in memes, and have always shared them with my besties. So I paused seeing her. However, a therapist friend of mine said that was a bad idea, because when you talk to your therapist and have nothing to really talk about, that is when they get to start using their degree. So, I kept seeing her, and boy, have I learned SO much about myself that I didn't even know I needed to know! And you know what? I've been even better at memes since! Just call me the meme queen.
