In the beginning, early humans had to seek a pool of still water in order to see their own faces. As time went on, ancient civilizations crafted mirrors from glass and other materials. Now, most people have their own personal black mirror in their pockets, and through these devices we may see ourselves reflected in profound and unexpected ways. It's Me IRL.

Relatable memes, which are literally you, me, us and them in real life, are a reliable and famous type of meme. These sorts of memes tell about the quirks and trials of everyday life: little things that you do, think, or feel that maybe you think are just you but are really felt by all of us.

These memes tell about being alone and loving it, and about stress and triumph. By seeing some part of the experience of being alive in the 21st century turned into a meme, on your screen in front of you, it becomes easier to understand and grapple with what's happening. Not everything on the internet is weird and crazy: some of it is just normal, just human, just like you.
