We’re more than halfway through 2020 and the coronavirus pandemic is still very much a part of our lives. Even though the restrictions have started to ease, stepping out is still dangerous. The times are tough, but the netizens are ensuring that they make the most of it. How? By creating relatable memes, starting Twitter threads, baking banana bread, and whipping some Dalgona coffee. From memes on quarantine fashion to trending hashtags like #MyQuarantineInSixWords and #MugshotMakeupChallenge, social media users know how to keep themselves entertained. And now they are back with another one Twitter thread. It’s called ‘Mentally I’m Here’.
Cooped at home, many of us want to simply pack our bags and disappear for a few days to wring all the anxiety out of our brains, but owing to the pandemic, that’s (unfortunately) not possible. Therefore, people have no choice but to resort to a mental escape. Over the past few days, social media users have been flooding their Twitter timelines with the ‘Mentally I’m Here’ memes in an attempt to give a physical shape to their fantasies.

The concept of this meme format is pretty simple: Netizens are disassociating themselves from reality to share their happy places or a place they’d rather be at the moment. All to distract them from the nightmare that this year is.
From being at a party, or travelling places to even being at the famous F.R.I.E.N.D.S apartment, these memes amusingly illustrate the need to run away from reality.
