It’s easy to get caught in the churn of whatever chaos the internet’s serving today—doom, drama, debates.
That’s why it helps to drop in something a little softer. A little calmer. This collection is made up of wholesome stories and memes—some small, some surprisingly deep—that quietly remind us the internet doesn’t always have to stress us out.
Whether it’s someone going out of their way to help a stranger or a dog just being aggressively kind, these posts won’t solve all your problems, but they might nudge your mood a few notches in the right direction.
We pulled together our favorites to give your scroll a temporary breather. It’s not world peace, but it’s something.
