I literally credit my life to memes.  I owe memes everything that I am, and everything that I will ever be. Memes saved my life when I was in high school. I grew up not playing any sports or having too many friends. I was 85 pounds overweight by the time I was 15. I was a hefty 285 pounds, standing only five feet four inches tall. As you can probably guess, I was targeted by bullies at my school. I experienced public humiliation time and time again at the hands of bullies, cyber and real. By the time I was 13, I was spending over 40 hours a week on the computer playing video games. I was also pleasuring myself up to 3 times per day, something that has prevented me from now having children in the future according to my doctor. I grew to age 15 and things really hit the fan. My parents had just gotten divorced because my mom caught my dad cheating on her with another guy. The one friend I had at school had left me for other people - he was a mute but he was amazing to have conversations with because he was a fantastic listener. I was spending $15 a week on ice cream at school. And on top of all that, I had just been kicked out of my end-game raid guild. What was I going to do? I pondered this over and over for weeks on end. One day, I came across this website, and my life slowly began to change. I started getting involved in multiple subreddits, racking up over 2,000 karma in mere months. I was getting my life back on track. One day, things really started to change when I found r/adviceanimals. I discovered the power of memes. I started making memes that were incredible. 5 karma here, 7 karma there, even 25 karma one time - the karma points were pouring in and I found myself refreshing my browser over and over to see how many of these little internet biscuits I had racked up. I realized that memes were what could save me. Memes did everything that I could not. I befriended several memes and started projecting them onto people in real life. I would walk up to a douchebag and picture him as scumbag steve and things would go great.  I found my calling. That is why I am the man I am today
