We all seek comfort in different places. For some, it’s a warm bowl of soup after a hard day’s work. For others, it’s the sweet embrace of a friend who knows what you’re going through. But what if that friend is actually a meme, made by a stranger? You may not know its generous creator, but it somehow it feels like they know you. They’ve seen your struggle, and they can reflect it back to you, as if through magic. Like the bards of yore, these memes speak the universal truths we all long to hear.

Love comes in many forms. Plato gave us platonic love, Rome gave us romantic love (don’t fact-check me on that), but sometimes the love you seek comes in the form of a fresh meme. And who are you to judge that urge? There’s a lid for every pot, and that lid might just be this batch of memes, hot off the presses.
