Maybe it’s just a hangover from last night’s doomscroll, but sometimes the internet can feel like a pretty lonely place. Heck, sometimes it can feel downright dystopian. We’re sharing so much of our lives online (marriages, births, vacations, even our fit checks), but sometimes it can feel like all that sharing doesn’t necessarily translate into connecting. And when you’re not feeling so great yourself, scrolling through everyone else’s curated perfection can make you feel like the only one who missed the memo on how to have your life together.
Luckily, some meme accounts just get it. Take @l0wkeyhurt, for example. With the tagline “lowkey hurt. highkey hilarious,” the account turns the thoughts and feelings we might otherwise keep to ourselves into memes that are painfully relatable and, thankfully, pretty funny too. Because sometimes the best antidote to feeling like you’re the only one struggling with the absurdity of it all is realizing you’re not—and getting to laugh about it together.
