14 Wholesome Pieces Of Content From Reddit's 'Made Me Smile'

The internet and social media can be places where the rougher edges of human nature are highly visible. But there are also opportunities to find a sweeter, softer side of the web. That doesn’t mean you forget about the bad things happening in the world, but that you make a conscious effort to save space for what is good. Wholesome memes, happy stories, and kind strangers do exist, and remaining open to them and what they can bring to us is an essential part of modern online mental health.

Wholesome content is a great way to keep your head above the water when you're drowning in negative posts online. It's always nice to have a change of pace, and it isn’t at all sappy or frivolous. These 14 pieces of content from Reddit's /r/MadeMeSmile were posted because they made Redditors smile, and now, hopefully, they'll make you smile too. If they don’t? Well, at least we tried.

We should all buy this product as immediately as possible… or maybe the point is we shouldn't, we should just treasure its presence here.

VHS Vibes

February 10,2019 Hi M I found many old VHS tapes recently and wanted to see what is on them and realized I had no player. So I went to EBay for the first time and discovered your offer. I bought your VHS and you shipped it within a few days. The VHS looks new and unused. Amazing. I had some issues getting it going which were mine and not the player. I am 86 and perhaps not up to my game but I do get there eventually. And I did, and discovered the VHS works perfectly. Thank you so much for your care, your efforts, and your promptness. I watched tapes of my retirement party from 25 years ago which I had never seen before. Jeez, were we young. Then a tape of my wedding with all the family and friends, many of which are no longer around. Then skiing trips, kids growing up, travels, and most importantly the gentle maturing of my family. Each one more fun than the last. All thanks to your generous selling of the VHS player. I thought you would appreciate how much someone has enjoyed your offer. Best regards,

So often when people do kindnesses for each other, they don't record and write about their gratitude. Maybe more should follow this gentleman's lead.
