31 Memes For Keeping Your Chin Up

As is the case with any form of art that is worth our time, memes can have an uncanny ability to reflect back to us many of our thoughts and anxieties. They often capture shared experiences and complex moods with little more than a single image combined with a couple of lines of text. Somehow, they manage to be an effective form of escapism at the same time. Laughter remains the best medicine even in the internet age, and this content is allowing us to acknowledge how we feel without slipping into a downward spiral.

Even when memes seem to revolve around all things negative, they are often doing so in a roundabout attempt to allow us to enjoy ourselves despite whatever difficulties we may be going through. Most importantly, they let us know that we are far from alone. We cannot claim that they are going to solve any issues, and the goal isn't necessarily to solve anything. Still, stupid as they are, these images are capable of making the emotional weight easier to carry for a few moments. We hope that the memes below manage to do exactly that, regardless of format or topic.
