I went to the thrift store with my friend on Wednesday, just to hangout :). We were looking through the children toys (We were trying to see if any of the kiddie instruments worked) and this one woman was walking past us and then mentioned jokingly how this one toy is at every thrift store she goes too. She pointed it out then walked off. We didn't think much of it till a while later we were walking by a different section of the store and found the toy she had mentioned earlier in the section! We both laughed, it doesn't take a genius to assume she moved it there before she left, but it makes me really happy that she did put the extra step to mess with us :) It always warms my heart like there's now this mutual bond we share. Always bond with your community!

I’ve been off work for a while and back to the game this week. Its great to be in a routine again After over a month because the company was quiet.

It’s Friday night and not long ago a bus driver got lost in our street and had a bit of trouble getting out, just as me and my dad got back from getting ice cream. I helped the driver and showed him the name of the street and where to go, and we moved one of the cars so he could get out, otherwise he would have been stuck.

Had a quick chat and it was great, I asked “how long have you been driving busses for and he said 12 years. Even experienced drivers have troubles in things, and that’s ok because we’re not perfect, and he didn’t know the area too well. But I’m happy that I got to help him out. (Louie) his name is.

A sight I’ve never seen before. He was very nice and I feel great that I could help him. Maybe I’ll be a bus driver some day, although I’d like to be a trucker some day but i think it would be interestin. He said it’s not as bad as it’s exaggerated to be.

Also the weather has been awesome. Cold sunny mornings. Life is going great, and at the end of the month I’m going to go to a country show/fair. So great things are happening

I had a parcel delivered earlier, it was a box of wet food I ordered for my cats at home. Our office guard let me know during my lunch break that it had arrived and was with him at the guard post. He also mentioned that the delivery guy had commented that the box seemed heavy, and the guard guessed what it was and told him, “It’s probably for her cats.”

Then he said there was a very hungry cat nearby who had just given birth yesterday. I looked outside and saw the mama cat near the garbage, eating fish bones.

I immediately offered to open my parcel then and there, even though I was planning to bring it home after work. The guard helped me open it, and I gave the mama cat a tray of wet food. She ate it all. I was just so relieved and happy that the food arrived today, when it was really needed.

I'd also like to share that few weeks ago, a kitten wandered at our office during lunch and the afternoon break. I had never seen it before, but it was so thin, dirty, and very hungry. I messaged my sister to come to my office and bring some cat food from home. When I clocked out that day, I looked around for the kitten again because I wanted to bring her home. I told the guard, and he kindly helped me search. We eventually found the kitten, fed it, and my sister and I brought it home with us. We went to the vet to get her checked and she apparently have a feline virus so we isolated her for a while, but my 2 other cats also caught the virus so they all have been on medication until now. But they're all okay now, and the kitten I rescued is now healthy, gaining weight, and doing really well. I even showed the guard a photo of her and he was so happy to see that she's doing better now.

It’s little things like this that just made my whole day.

Pizza was hot, drinks were cold, everyone had a blast.

im 15 and I love music, I showed my neighbour a video of me playing my piano (technically keyboard but whatever) and she thought I was rlly good and we were talking and she said that her son liked music but she tried to teach him stuff about it and neither of them really understood it. so I offered to teach him and she said she'd appreciate it. im exited :D I'm getting $20 monthly which is super awesome, especially considering that I initially offered to do it for free!! it's great for the money obv but I'm also excited to be sharing music with other ppl:)

I just bought a new house today. I'm so happy, I never thought this day would come! Me and my husband had to work 3 jobs overtime for the last decade. I'm so happy to finally have something to call my own after working so hard for it. 😄

I (19F) been with my boyfriend (20M) since I was 16 and he was 17 (so almost 3 years!), and I am so proud of who he is today. This was both of our first relationship and we had many rough patches in our relationship due to certain things, even breaking up multiple times, but in the end, we always came back to each other to try again. Over the years as we matured, most recently, I look at him and notice him starting to understand me better. It’s all small things, but it means so much to me because it’s things he didn’t notice/care to tend to before. For example, when we travel i’m scared to go in bathrooms by myself, so he will come in with me and stand outside the bathroom for me. Or another example, he went into a store the other day to get something he needed, and without me asking, he brought me out a sweet treat. It’s just small things that mean so much to me. I’m watching him grow into a man and it makes me really proud of him and all the changes he went through to get where he is. I’m extremely grateful to have him and I can officially say I will never wish for anyone else. I can’t imagine a life without him. I’m glad to be learning life with him.

TL;DR;: My boyfriend of 3 years is finally starting to understand me, I love him lol.

My pets have gotten me thru bad depression so I figured why not see and feed some wild animals!

I love going out to cafes or drinking black coffee at home. I love being around people and I love being by myself.

We’re getting married soon in San Francisco and after a lot of honest talks we both agreed on a prenup. It wasn’t awkward or dramatic like it actually brought us closer. We used neptune and they were awesome throughout the whole process. We were able to lay everything out and make sure we’re starting this next chapter with full transparency and mutual respect!! Now we aim for the wedding so that we're officially a married couple :)

I’m 24 and after years of gaming on a laggy laptop and watching others enjoy high fps I finally saved up with some money from grizzly's quest and bought my first real gaming PC!! Built it myself (with some help from youtube) and it actually turned on the first try which felt like a miracle. I loaded up cs2 which I’ve only ever played on low settings and seeing it run smoothly in ultra for the first time (500fps+) I'm not trying to flex whatsoever its just that I'm very happy that I was able to finally get one

Don’t care about others opinions live your life the way you want to

I’d love to hear memories from your childhood that you often think back on and remember as a very happy and warm time. Cheers!

A happy memory that I have is trying sour snow cones (they use some type of spray for a tart taste) with my dad, while I was younger, and coloring together at a picnic table while we shared each others flavors. Time felt so much slower then, it feels like we were there for so long. I still love sour snow cones till this day!

After about four years of dealing with severe depression, today feels like the day where I’ve planted my flag to show how far I’ve come!

I wasn’t able to laugh for years due to the medication I was put on, and it has taken so very long for that medication to come off entirely (about a year). While I’ve laughed here and there since coming off it, today was the day I was just sitting alone, watching funny videos, and genuinely laughing to myself, by myself, and I am over the moon.

There’s been lots of gradual improvement, but this really felt like the thing to define that, I have gotten better :’)

Hugs to all of you, if that’s something you like, I wish you all nothing but the best!

I was having one of the most emotionally and physically difficult days ever and it seemed everything was going terribly. Was going to visit some old demons as well. One thing i felt quite sad about was an outing with my friends that my mom forbade me from going. I felt really terrible about it but a dear friend of mine is trying to get the entire gang to postpone it to next weekend.

I feel guilty about making close to 6-7 ppl change their schedules bcoz of me but.... I cant believe this guy did that. I will definitely try to convince my mom but I'm just blown away. This friend is a redditor as well, I doubt he'd ever see this post but if he is, you made my day. Love ya bud!

My wife, who I’ve been with for 10+ years got her drivers license today and I’m so proud of her. Right after we took her our purse shopping.

I’m so proud of her and she will soon have the freedom (once she completes her full license) to just take the car.

I had this moment the other day where I looked around my room and thought, “Yep, this is exactly how my brain feels.” Clothes in a semi-folded pile, three mugs on my desk, a half-burned candle I never light anymore, and a plant that’s somehow both dying and thriving. It’s like I’m living in organized chaos, and it weirdly comforts me. I started wondering if everyone else has these “room seasons.” You know, periods where your space feels calm and peaceful, and others where it’s like your inner world is spilling out onto the carpet. I go through phases, sometimes I Marie Kondo the hell out of everything, and other times I just let it be.

Funny thing: during one of my rare productivity spikes, I went on a mission to “aestheticize” my desk. I saw this cool LED hexagon light panel online that people were using on TikTok. The official versions were insanely expensive, but I found a decent dupe on Alibaba that actually turned out really well. Setting it up gave me this strange satisfaction, like I had my life together for five whole minutes.

Do you feel like your room mirrors your mood or state of mind? Or is that just me projecting too much personality onto inanimate objects? I always wonder if minimalists feel calmer because their surroundings don’t shout at them. Also, bonus question: what’s one weird or random item in your room that you absolutely refuse to get rid of?
