Ever read a meme and wonder who gave the internet permission to know you this well?

Memes were created by someone on the internet who decided that laughing about our lives can be the best mechanism to fix anxiety and stress…

Listen, I’m not sure if that’s true, but there’s some veracity on that quote. Memes are here to show us the good side of life, the light at the end of the tunnel. And thanks to them, we have more fun and live happier lives. I remember scrolling through memes while having breakfast before heading to school or college. They made me feel better about the day, and I actually looked forward to them every single morning.

Now that I’m older, I keep reaching out to them for that same reason. Of course, the types of memes that I enjoy aren’t the same, but the effect remains, and now they have that home feeling and sensation that is so lovely, especially when I’m feeling sad or anxious. If this is something that resonates with you, you’ve come to the right place.

To honour that feeling and sensation, I went deep into the internet and looked for the relatable memes that spoke the most to me. Since I’ve been working and writing about them for a while now, you can trust my selection skills: the memes you’ll find below are great and represent what living our current life feels like.

And the best part is that you can reach out to them whenever you need to: either when you’re going to work and feel nervous about deadlines or a meeting, or when you have an argument with a loved one and need some extra comfort. Memes are a good way of coming back to Earth and releasing some of the stress.
