Sometimes I have a hard time expressing myself. I can be a bit awkward and reserved. Even though I am definitely goofy, I freeze up in certain situations or with certain people. But I am much better through text. And by through text I mean memes let me say things I am just able to say in person.
I can have whole conversations with memes and often use them with my family. I have a literal chat group that we just send memes back and forth to each other. There is something fun about them that can get a point across in a way that is easier to handle than saying it straight out. It can inject humor in even really dark times and can affectionately make fun of someone for something that saying it straight might hurt feelings.
My meme boys might like to tease me about my impractical crush and my adoration of Keanu Reeves.
It is also just a really fun way to stay in touch with people I don’t get to see often. There is something fun about having a meme pop up in my text. It is a lovely way to give a virtual hug and say, hey I was thinking about you. Such a small effort and yet such a great return. In a world where people say they will text or call and don’t, there is something so fundamentally sweet about having those moments in the day that has you smile from a friend.
Really, it is one of those recent trends I truly do adore.
