It’s not uncommon to see people posting encouraging things on social media — at times even quoting bible verses. More often than not, they’re well-received by many who are able to relate to the post.
A recent post by Twitter user @brianab1188 took a different turn, though. The post went viral with 247K likes and 122k retweet, but it also became a hilarious meme.
