“Cheerful Pessimism” — 79 Memes For People Holding It Together With Sarcasm And Nothing Else
A guy at the grocery store asked me how I was doing today, and I said “I’m good” in the exact tone you use when you aren’t good, and he just nodded and went back shopping like it was a totally normal exchange. Sometimes it feels like nobody’s okay, but everybody’s fine. We’re all just walking around with a smile and a thousand-yard stare, cracking jokes about it because crying at your desk is frowned upon, but a well-timed meme about your slow decline is basically a personality trait at this point.
That’s exactly the energy Cheerful Pessimism has built an entire Instagram page around, and it’s somehow the most comforting and relatable thing on my feed.
These memes are for anyone who’s holding it together with nothing but sarcasm, caffeine, and the will to make it to Friday.
