Experiencing a letdown is one of those annoying yet inevitable things that happens to all of us at some point. Perhaps a friend cancels last minute on some long-awaited plans, or we make a sandwich for lunch that simply doesn’t bang. It’s not fun to go through such an event, which is why most of us endeavor to avoid them as much as possible. However, it isn’t always going to be easy to do that. 

Instead, we’re better off acknowledging that the letdown is unavoidable while doing what we can to soften the blow. Memes are one of those things designed to smooth over disappointment, sometimes by acknowledging it and other times because they act blissfully oblivious to all the problems that we can have. If nothing else, we can always trust in them to give us a distraction. Sometimes, that is the best we can hope for in life.
