A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I mean, I've had a holiday last year where I was hiking for days, often meeting no one except for the group I was with.
That was hard from a certain perspective, it involved some technically difficult climbing, lots of different terrain, carrying your own supplies.
But I honestly found it a lot easier to just walk, one foot in front of the other, for hours and hours, than to organise my normal life. It was meditative, in a way.
Now I'm not saying that I'm some kind of pioneer, the people in those wagons didn't have mapped out places to refill their water, and I didn't have small children, diseases, or displacing natives along my route to do that I had to worry about, but I am saying that the clarity of purpose that just walking towards a destination for days on end can feel really freeing.
"displacing natives along my route" lmao #pioneerprobs
