Had enough of the bad sh*t happening in the world, or just need a pick-me-up because it's been a particularly bad day? These comics, filled with optimism, positivity, and love, might be the antidote your brain needs. 

This selection of tweets, memes, and pics is for anyone who is having a bad day or needs a little pick-me-up. Sometimes when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel you need a little bit of warmth and perspective.

TGIF, y'all!

That's right! Cuffing season is swiftly approaching. Whether you're seriously single, very committed or somewhere in between, these memes will get you pumped for the hard and wintry road ahead. Stay vigilant, friends. But at least you know that most likely before the season is up, you'll have someone beside you to keep you warm. Now if they stay past Groundhog Day is a completely different issue. 

But if you want to explore the endless landscape of couples intimacy, then these sexual relationship memes will be perfect to get you started. Or check on these spicy relationship memes that are just dead on and give you everything you needed to know (or didn't) about relationships.

Every now and then we witness something or hear a story that crushes our pessimism and makes us believe that true love is real. Rosey Blair was on a flight home with her partner when she bore witness to one of these exact situations. And lucky for everyone at home, she live-tweeted the entire, nauseatingly cute experiences. 

Cosmopolitan enlisted real people (not Fabio) to duplicate the dramatic, windswept scenes of your mom's favorite romance novels. The results are hilarious and strangely satisfying.

The comedic relief present in these delightfully vulgar Valentine's Day cards is the perfect companion for anyone even slightly sickened by the glaring commercialization meets sappy romantic comedy-tainted nature of this 'holiday.' Picking out a decent card that doesn't involve you sacrificing your self-respect alongside a bouquet of overpriced roses can be a whole lot easier if you pull something from this rag tag crew. Trust me bro (or maybe don't), you'll get some points for attempted crack at keeping it light and humorous. If it ends up buzzkilling your night and failing to put a smile on his/her face though, don't say I didn't warn ya.

In what is hopefully the last bit of Bee Movie meme-ing this year, a freshman at Baylor University wrote the script to Bee Movie by hand for his girlfriend as some sort of Christmas gift. Who says romance isn’t dead ironic?

Conner Fastenau spent three hours, three human hours, 180-EARTH MINUTES, transcribing the 2007 script to Bee Movie, the film about a talking bee that Jerry Seinfeld made for some reason, as sign of his romantic attraction for an adult human woman. She reportedly “got a good laugh,” so it was “worth it,” Fastenau told Buzzfeed.

Bee Movie has been the subject of a strange resurgence of late. Earlier this year, someone put the script to Bee Movie on a shirt in really small print, and just last month, a video that featured all of Bee Movie except every time someone said “bee” the playback sped up went viral. The world continues to be in awe not only of Bee Movie’s very existence, but also ongoing cultural relevance.
