Pinterest. Facebook. Reddit. Tumblr. Twitter. Instagram. Scroll, scroll, scroll. Everywhere we go on the internet, we tend to see the same things. Memes. Videos. Pictures of coffee. And most importantly, sappy quotes accompanied by aesthetic photos. Sometimes these quotes tell us exactly what we need to hear to get through our long week. But when reading these moving and inspirational words, have you ever noticed just how ridiculous they can be? Usually, the photos have nothing to do with the quote. Luckily for those of you out there concerned by this, I have come up with some edits and further explanations for these photos to help them make a bit more sense.

2.

The ocean.

3.

Because reading is very hard.

4.

Unless that change is to live on land.

5.

....that your allergy meds will kick in soon.

6.

...Or vandalizing.

7.

Especially when you are an inanimate object.

8.

"Cut down the trees," they said. "It will be fine," they said.

Or an escalator.

10.

Because even the wind destroys me.

11.

Or the ant.
