Try as we might to pretend otherwise, life can often feel defined by our mistakes. That dumb thing you said to somebody years ago that still keeps you awake at night; that relationship that went sour, or the job you really should have taken. Hell, maybe even being born in the first place.

Regret is an emotion that overcomes most of us at one point or another, and it’s important to try and work through it. Even if better days don’t seem like they’re around the corner, it’s vital to have some form of escapism that helps us out.

Memes are the perfect short term fix for forgetting all of our cares like this. Will you be annoyed at yourself  the next time you scroll through picture after picture in bed at 3am when you have to get up for work four hours later? Probably. Look at it this way, though: perhaps you really needed it.
