Life is a grind. The apartment gets dirty almost as soon as you clean it, and the 9 to 5 is always there at the other end of your dreams, waiting for you when you get into bed each night. There's a lot to celebrate in living and a lot of fun to be had in spending time with family, friends, pets and other companions.

One of these companions are the internet friends whose faces we may never see and whose voices we may never hear. These friends who find us through the smartphones that ride as pocket passengers to our appointments and obligations, day in and day out.

Some of these companions are on Reddit's /r/me_irl, the internet's number one place for relatable memes, sharing what they've known and learned in lives well-lived.
