This is How You Can Apply the Five Love Languages to Yourself

Writer Jessicah Pierre brought a lot of joy to people recently with her Twitter thread on the “love languages” and how we can apply them to ourselves.

The concept of the five basic love languages was first pioneered in the early 90’s by author and minister Gary Chapman. In his book The Five Love Languages, he outlined different ways that people prefer to show and receive affection.

It’s a framework that has dug its way into the culture as a helpful guide to recognize each others’ needs, but can it be applied to our day to day, even when we’re alone? Jessicah thinks so:

Here’s her rundown of each language and how you can apply them to yourself to improve your mental health.

1. Words of Affirmation

Talking to yourself isn’t crazy. It’s a totally normal way to process thoughts.

2. Acts of Service

You’d be surprised how much you might appreciate it if you help you out.

3. Quality Time

Don’t just rush around constantly.

4. Physical Touch

There’s an obvious NSFW answer here but this is good too.

5. Gifts

Treat yoself.

Basically:

When you lay it all out like that, it seems so simple. And yet, how often have any of us thought in these terms?

A very helpful reminder that we’ve already got a lot of the tools that we need to stay hearty and happy. Just gotta get ourselves to use them once in a while!

How do you take care of yourself?

Enjoy Some of the Best Comebacks Found on the Internet

The thing about the internet is that it’s a huge public forum where almost anybody can access and respond to the things you say.

And the thing about having a forum like that is that with so many eyeballs on your statement, odds are exceedingly good that at least one pair of those eyes is gonna be connected to a brain that just happens to have the most perfectly devastating response.

Ergo, the internet is basically just one giant clap back machine, and the results are hilarious and oof-worthy.

Here are fifteen examples of killer comebacks brought to us by the internet.

15. First languages

Clearly she meant speak American. Yanno, talk about guns and Tiger King.

14. Safety second

And just like Jurassic Park, we literally never learn.

13. Special delivery

(Club = team for all my fellow basic Americans.)

12. Social predictions

Don’t hold back, king.

11. Deep breaths

I might be suffocating but these download speeds are tight.

10. Packing heat

It was planted on me, I swear.

9. Cold shoulder

Every doctor: “This is way worse than a cold or the flu.”
Your cousin: “Nu uh.”

8. Well actually

If he was around to hear this conversation he’d cut off his ear all over again.

Get bent, bruh.

4. Don’t cry for me

If being a man means I don’t get to care about my own parents then screw it, I’m a wombat.

In a post about “man up” being an insult. from clevercomebacks

3. Granting wishes

2. Can’t take the heat

But…but…I saw a meme somewhere that said…

A Moron and a Microbiologist Comment on a COVID-19 Article… from clevercomebacks

1. The winter of our inconvenience

We’re so insular we literally forget there are other countries.

On a thread about wearing masks from clevercomebacks

That’s a lot of cathartic comebacks right there. Sort of revs you up to go plant a few yourself. Remember: don’t go looking for a fight. But when the time comes to strike, use the opportunity well.

What’s your favorite comeback lately?

Funny Starter Pack Memes That Will Make You LOL

According to Know Your Meme, “Starter packs, also known as starter kits, are a series of multi-panel photo sets meant to illustrate the archetype of a celebrity, company or subculture through a recommended selection of fashion articles, multimedia and other consumer products, much similar to steal her look fashion guides.”

It’s a format that took off all the way back in the ancient days of later 2014, and it’s still going strong today. That’s a little surprising, considering the half life for most memes is a couple of months at best.

I guess there’s just something enduringly attractive about starter packs. That said, let’s start looking at them. (See what I did there? I’ll show myself out.)

10. All Greek to me

Ok but that food though.

Here are Some of the Best “Starter Pack” Memes Around

I believe the greatest thing about the whole “starter pack” meme is the versatility. You can apply it to literally any person, place, thing, concept, phenomenon, experience, profession, personality trait, he list goes on.

In fact you could probably make a starter pack meme ABOUT starter pack memes if you wanted to. But then the internet would collapse and I wouldn’t be able to doom scroll through Twitter endlessly.

So don’t do that. Or maybe do.

I don’t know, I’m kind of conflicted now.

Anyway,  here are ten examples of the things you can make starter pack memes about.

10. Empty wrapping paper tubes

You’ve got about 10 minutes before it breaks apart, so enjoy ’em.

9. Trash-taking shoes

Dress for the job you don’t want, not the job you have.

8. Having siblings

There’s an easy way around this sort of thing.
The person who divides the spoils gets last pick of their portion.
That way they’re always incentivised to make it as even as possible.

7. Cutting finger nails

Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ’till it’s gone.

6. Dad care

He’s doing his best and that’s what matters.

5. Things you can’t afford in America

4. Movie survival characters

These Kids All Said Something Wild and It Made Us Laugh Out Loud

Kids sure do say the darnedest things. And by “darnedest” I mean “wildest and most ridiculous.”

It’s not their fault, really. Their brains are still developing. They’re still figuring out basic rules of reality.

And we get to reap the benefits in the form of memes.

10. If I had a million dollars

Just don’t tell the guy behind the counter to keep the change, I guess.

9. We’re gonna need a bigger book

Ok, well, this just opened up a whole litany of new subjects.

8. Not too bright

I mean, he was really just following the line of thinking you’d laid out for him.

7. The big short

Um, if that’s how it worked I think MORE people would smoke.

6. From the mouths of babes

I think I see your problem here.

5. Hitting a wall

If you treat every uh-oh as an emergency, you’ll never get anything else done.

4. Beaming with pride

I dunno, this is what we say to grown ups, I guess.

3. A man of principle

Why is “cousin” in quotes like that? What the heck is going on in your family?

2. Fairly obvious

Hey, why not?

1. Breathe free

Let’s get this bread.

When I was a kid I was trying to help my mom bake. We got to the part that said “grease bottom of pan” and I greased the underside.

I still haven’t lived it down.

What’s something dumb a kid has said to you?
