Of all the Kermit the Frog memes circulating online, none are sadder than "Sad Kermit," featuring our favorite muppet holding his knees to his chest and looking forlorn.
He looks like he's had a rough 2016 (he's in good company there) and he really needs a hug.
However, Twitter user@jonnysuncame to the rescue and turned sad Kermit into a meme that made us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
when u give urself a gentle hug evrey night before u go to bed, reassuring urself that no mater wat, the day was yours bc u chose to live it pic.twitter.com/fTH8o5k3h9
He wrote, "when u give urself a gentle hug evrey night before u go to bed, reassuring urself that no mater wat, the day was yours bc u chose to live it."We could all use some Kermit-based inspiration every now and then. Perhaps he should be the new face of self-care.
But@jonnysunwasn't done yet — he challenged the rest of Twitter to come up with equally heartwarming memes. And the Internet delivered with an abundance of joyful suggestions.

Some Kermit interpretations were surprisingly self-aware and a little #TooReal.

We weren't exactly expecting to be taken on the emotional rollercoaster of the century with Kermit memes, but, as we've learned, anything is possible in 2016.
BRB, we'll be trying to collect ourselves and recover from all the feelings.
Life really is short and beautiful. Thanks for reminding us, Kermit.
