I've always felt more at home around other trainwrecks like myself. You know, the people who might not have their act together but at least they're honest about it. Me and my friends? We've mastered the art of pooling our collective dysfunctions into a halfway decent impression of one normal person. But those "normal" people? They're the ones who really scare me. How do they do it? Do they not feel the existential dread at 3 a.m.? Do they actually understand tax forms?

These 31 memes are for the rest of us—the ones who are done pretending we've got it all figured out. They're a reminder that being a little broken, a little messy, and a lot over it is perfectly fine. Because let's face it, "functioning member of society" is overrated, and who's really keeping score anyway?
