As Ladybird’s dad in Ladybird says, quoting The Traveling Wilburys, «I’m just glad to be here, happy to be alive.» And I couldn’t agree more. We often forget that it’s a miracle to be alive. Any number of things could have gone wrong. We could have been hit in the head by an anvil, Looney Tunes style. But we didn’t. We’re living and breathing, and looking at memes. 

It’s easy to forget to be grateful for what we have right here and right now. We’re always looking for a bigger and better thing, a better house, a better wardrobe, a better job, a better partner. But if we don’t stop and look around at what we’ve got, it might pass us by, to very loosely paraphrase another great coming-of-age film. So let this meme list be a reminder of all the good that exists right now. It’s got everything you need.
