From couch to a marathon in 8 months, I know it's slow for some, but I am really happy with it, it hurts as hell but I was crying from joy when I finished. When you want to do something get up and do it, for some might be much for other might be less but for you is everything!

Local Restaurant in my town gave me my favorite food for free

26 Upvotes

It's been 7 years of me going to this restaurant, and they always give me freebies whenever they saw me coming. This day, the delivery guy from this restaurant suddenly knocks on my door and gave me my favorite food that I always order. At first, I thought they've got the wrong address and I clarified that I didn't order anything. Turns out, it is free from the local restaurant because they notice that I always order one specific food and most of the time this dish is always out of stock.

Now, I am thinking if I should celebrate my college graduation here too since I already celebrate my high school graduation in there lol

Anyway, this is the first time I feel wholesome because someone did something like this for me. Thank you my humble local restaurant!

After 6 years of feeling in a fog, Iā€™m finally feeling like myself again.

13 Upvotes

Iā€™ve felt this way for a long time, kinda hovering or trapped in my own head and thoughts and my own toxic behavior. A lot has happened to me in those years that made me feel unsafe to share those thoughts or let me feel like I could fully express my everything. Until recently. Iā€™ve cleared out negative people in my life, set more clear boundaries, reexamined my feelings towards the people who I thought were against me for a long time and now have a better relationship than ever with them, Iā€™m single for the first time in a long time and for once Iā€™m actually starting to like myself. Iā€™m starting to want to draw more and get back to the things I used to love, reimagining things and making them better, making more music. I was in such a weird place that I didnā€™t even have that many dreams but lately itā€™s been one after the other, all of them vibrant and giving me more hope for the future. I donā€™t think Iā€™m really ready to date again quite yet but Iā€™m so happy that im taking this time to really explore me as a person. I know this is a very self indulgent rant but I feel like I have to take more ownership of what Iā€™m feeling and tell more people and make it feel more real that this is where I am. Thank you for listening!! I donā€™t know what the future holds but right now. Iā€™m happy :)

Landed my first ever lead role in an amateur production of a musical Iā€™ve wanted to be a part of for years!

Bit of context: Iā€™m a musician by trade. 10 years ago I got asked to play a character in a musical because I could sing and play guitar, this was my gateway! Over the last 3 years Iā€™ve done plays and dramas to improve my acting abilities. This year, I auditioned for a role which I didnā€™t expect to get but the fact I did it without friends was a huge leap for me. I was honoured to have been offered the lead role and Iā€™ve made new friends throughout the process!!

Hey,

I know and understand how it feels, being alone, being heartbroken, being sad, I hear you.

But know there's always hope, in darkness there is light, and peace is possible to achieve in life.

You are capable of improving, and moving forward. You deserve love and kindness, and you deserve to be happy.

You are strong, and you have a beautiful soul, keep being yourself and don't let what others think bring you down.

You are loved, and people care about you, your friends and family do.

everything will be okay, I believe in you, and I care about you :>

Hope this helps!

  • Had one of the funniest chats I've ever had. I have found a true friend and have lots of laughs.
  • My son and his team won their game of soccer. They had a great game, but my favourite part was how well.thenteam played together. They all called out and passed the ball. They really played as a team and it made me so proud.
  • Got to spend the morning with my gorgeous wife, we went to the local markets and caught up with our friends and acquaintances. It was a great morning.

From TikTok Refugee to Wholesome Internet Story

Post image
7 Upvotes

A few months ago, I was kinda a TikTok refugee and somehow ended up on RedNote. It was honestly pretty wildā€”at the time, the app didnā€™t even have a translation feature. But I still managed to connect with people there using super basic English. There were barely any ads, and it felt like this weird little peaceful corner of the internet. Then I came across this story that honestly gave me chills (in a good way). Thereā€™s this guy from Mississippi named Breckenā€”he posted for the first time on RedNote with a picture of him and his 14-month-old daughter, just saying ā€œhi.ā€ And out of nowhere, thousands of Chinese users replied with photos of their own families. It totally blew up. One of the top replies came from a Chinese family called ā€œA Tiu,ā€ and they actually became friends. Brecken and his family were so touched by the connection, they decided to fly to China to meet them......

Well... stuff like this makes the internet feel human again. Social media is so chaotic now. Anyone else remember a time when it felt more like this?

What are things that actually keep you on Reddit and actually make you feel good?

In light of the fact that there is a lot of negativity regarding Reddit, both outside or inside the platform, I want to look at the other side of the spectrum and have you tell me what things on Reddit keep you here and actually contribute to your daily happiness.

Make them suffer appreciation thread/ happiness:

Hey there everyone. I just wanted to make a post about my favorite band ever and how much they make me happy. I just recently saw them last month. Theyā€™re a metalcore band from Western Australia šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ and a lot of their songs have helped me through so much. During the pandemic and especially the last couple of years, theyā€™ve helped me cope with a lot of changes that have happened in my life. I truly appreciate how theyā€™re music helped me turn my pain into something more productive and worth doing. Meeting some of the members was truly a blessing and how nice they each were to me. It was recently my birthday on the 3rd and I thank them for helping me get to that point each year. The stories they tell through their music have made an impact on me and the person I try to be others. If any of you are fellow metalheads here and listen to this band, I would love to hear your story. Much love to you all!

  • My son made me bacon and eggs for breakfast. He even brought it to me in bed. He is such a great kid. I love him so much!
  • Met up with a friend in the morning for coffee. This is becoming a regular thing and I really enjoy it. We just catch up on things we did or dumb stuff that happened to us over the previous days. It's really nice to not have to worry about anything else during that time.
  • Worked legs at the gym. I prepared myself and made sure that my knees had sleeves and anti-inflammatory. Legs feel sore, knees feel solid! Today was a great day!

I helped someone via Be My Eyes and it was an amazing experience!

139 Upvotes

I created an account to be a volunteer on Be My Eyes 2 days ago. I read online that itā€™s normal to wait weeks for the first call because of the abundance of volunteers on that platform.

But yesterday, I got my first call. The person needed help to find a shop nearby. I saw the sign of the shop and helped the person navigated the street. I was so happy when he arrived safely!

Itā€™s a great feeling to be able to help someone in need. It made my day. Maybe I needed him/the call more than he needed my help.

Have an amazing day, Redditors!

Just saw the most wonderful thing from a group of young guys

1.7k Upvotes

Was on the front porch of a bar/restaurant. Outskirts of a big city so pretty popular with a lot of local college students etc. This group of 4 young men (maybe 18-22?) were hanging out talking about the MLB (for non-Americans, thatā€™s our pro baseball league) games from earlier that day. One of the guys was pretty clearly autistic/Aspergerā€™s and seemed to be close to one of them. He didnā€™t seem to really understand and didnā€™t add anything to the baseball convo but all the guys kept explaining the baseball news in terms of trains - which seemed to be the other guyā€™s special interest. They mentioned an upset and one of them said ā€œJosh, thatā€™s like a steam engine beating one of those fast Japanese trains in a raceā€ and he got pretty excited. It was just super cool to see they were including him and taking the time to explain everything they were talking about in familiar terms.

Edit: Donā€™t think Iā€™m on the right sub, sorry about that but just wanted to share

Something that has made me happy this week: this stuffed weighted unicorn I got from Target.

I named her Strawberry Mochi. Because she's pink like strawberries, and she's super soft like both Mochi plushies and mochi desserts.

She weighs about 3lbs and she is just really cute in general.

Just wanted to share my unicorn with you all. Hope you have a good day ā˜ŗļøšŸ’•
