Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
Respect one another.
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Friendships- getting to experience life through their stories and having someone to share your own
children - watching them grow, observe and learn their world. My daughter called the moving sidewalk at the airport today “the travelator”
travel - experiencing life, architecture and food from a different culture’s perspective are some of the best parts of living
stories - you have Netflix on there, but I’d add to finish that long form podcast or that good book
volunteering - use acts of service to serve yourself. You’ll have people who rely on you. Also helps with garnering a few friendships.
Hobbies - that ruby throated hummingbird needs you to keep filling up the feeder. Why is it still here in late fall anyway? Maybe it knows you need it too.

If it helps, I’m not some happy bunny traipsing through the tulips of life. I’ve been severely depressed before. I was so depressed that I dropped out of university at one point and it took me nearly 10 years to return to get a degree. I was so depressed after my SO left me 4 months after I thought she was the one and moved away from everything I knew for her, that I laid in bed for half a year. I was so depressed when I just worked and rarely, if ever, dated for 3 years in my late 20s - I ended up quitting my job and moving, which led to me learning my passion for long distance cycling, new friends and renewed career opportunities.

It does get better if you let it, if you will it even, and sprinkled with little bit of luck when those opportunities present themselves.
