You know you’re officially 19 when every single person decides to remind you that 20 is right around the corner. The guy in this meme is trying his best to keep it together, but you can see that look in his eyes.
It’s that classic Hide the Pain Harold meme. The top image says ‘Happy 19th Birthday’ and the bottom adds, ‘That smile when everyone keeps reminding you 20 is next.’ The expression is gold—it’s like he’s trying to be happy, but you can see the existential dread setting in.
Next time someone brings up your age, just send them this meme. Sometimes a forced smile is the only way to get through the milestone birthdays.
