Please cheer me up with tales of good in the world

[ncforyetanotherone]

Just read about a horrific case in Paris, and have fallen down a massive hole of doom scrolling and looking up sex offenders and the lot. I have general anxiety and OCD, and young DC which maybe makes me more vulnerable to feeling this way? I hate how even the most extreme of stories seem relatable in some way and the unpredictability of life is getting to me. How do you survive in this world, knowing all the shit that happens? It's so much worse knowing I have young people to protect.

I need some stories of goodness please

I live in a tiny wee village where I was born. The place where kids play outside where everyone knows each other where we have proper community.

I bollocked my 8 year old for not being in when it got dark and the streetlights came in to be told by a neighbour who is old and can’t really walk well not to because she’d fell at her gate and him and his wee pals had got her up and back inside then he’d took her letter to the postbox for her incase she fell again. Epic mum fail from me, super child moment from him.

What a beautiful thread. Thanks for starting it.

All the mothers out there risking their health and taking the motherhood penalty to look after their kids?

The RNLI and Mountain Rescue organisations.

I have Parkinson’s recently diagnosed meds working, and cuddling up to my 12yr old cat, purring too

This is my go-to when I think the human race is awful…soon makes me realise I mustn’t lose hope.

I felt really crap the other day after traumatic hassle at work and a neighbour came round to give me really lovely apples from their tree.

Ah this is amazing thank you!
