The Woman Behind the Squat-&-Stare Meme Embraces Her Newfound Celebrity
@WatchJRoss/Twitter

In the fast paced world of the internet, new memes are born and die on a daily basis. Some of them never get off the ground, others enjoy brief success before being forgotten a month later, and some endure the test of time and come to represent a universally experienced emotion for all people throughout the digital universe (here's looking at you, socially awkward penguin).

Something very few people have a chance to experience, however, is what it's like to BE a meme. What if you were the actual Overly Attached Girlfriend, or the Good Guy Greg of whom these now-ubiquitous photos were taken? Some may shy away from the strange internet fame they've stumbled into, but others embrace it, such as the subject of Twitter's newest star: the Squat-and-Stare meme.

It actually didn't take that long to figure out.

Here's the original picture that birthed a meme!

@Solo_Kalin is embracing the meme life while she can! When the time comes, we all should.
