We all need to occasionally be reminded of how wonderful the world is, and how kind and caring people can truly be. When you spend too much time watching the news and browsing social media, you can come to the false conclusion that life is horrible. That’s far from the truth. Life is very nuanced. And there’s plenty of good to outweigh the bad.
That’s where the ‘Wholesome Memes’ account on X (formerly Twitter) comes in. The project does exactly what it says on the tin and shares memes about all things wholesome. We’ve collected some of the best ones for you to enjoy and share with your pals. Scroll down to check ‘em out. This might be the mood booster that you need today!

Wholesome Moments
The Real Hero
Anything Is Possible
The ‘Wholesome Memes’ project was started in early 2017. Over the years, it attracted a community of 38.7k loyal followers who love what the account stands for. However, at the time of writing, it appears that the curators have taken a break from posting new wholesome memes.
It’s easy to see why so many people love the content shared by the project. It’s lighthearted. It’s fun. It offers a nice contrast to a lot of the emotional ick you watch and read about every single day. We all need a pick-me-up from time to time. Sometimes, a handful of memes are enough to (slightly) restore our faith in humanity.

As Wholesome As Can Be
Outstanding! Good on you for giving him this opportunity to get his life back!
So much this... there was no divine intervention here, simply a good man who saw an opportunity to help a person, by giving them an opportunity they needed. You both are shining examples of what more of us need to follow.

If you understand Christianity at all you'd know that life isn't all rainbows and lollipops and sometimes we suffer but if we remain focused there's always a lesson to be learned or a chance at something better.
Load More Replies...This man's act of kindness stems from his belief in God. Whether you or I think that faith is misplaced or not, doesn't really matter. What matters is that someone gave someone else a chance, which is rare enough (though it shouldn't be). Just be happy for both.
I'd be willing to bet that this same person would have done the same thing if he wasn't religious.
Load More Replies...But according to a******s, people are homeless because they choose to be and they won't get get jobs because of welfare or whatever. /s It's almost like most people are going through some tough times and should be treated with some humanity and empathy.
God had nothing to do with it. The guy got a chance and he made the best of it.
"God is good".? There are still people suffering on the streets. You (not god) have fixed but one problem. Please tell me what god did.
I think a lot more homeless people would do well given the opportunity.
We never know how our acts of goodness large and small may change someone's life. Thank you 😊
I'm not seeing what God did to make this happen, other than maybe being responsible for the guy being homeless in the first place.
And YOU sir are the amazing person giving him his life back! God love you both!
What a tenacious young man. Everyone should send kudos his way. He displays the true American spirit of "never giving up". Congratulations, young man. I'm so thrilled that you have reconnected with your family. That is the best news.
The man has done a great thing for a fellow human being. The young man did the work to get his life on track. This is wonderful and most of you guys are hung up on who the OP chooses to worship and give credit. If the OP's religion helped him in any way to be a better citizen, that's a positive. Whether any of you believe in what the OP believes is moot. Just celebrate the goodness in this story. and relax.
Thanks, Juanita, for saying what really needed to be said! ❤️
Load More Replies...This seems too amazing to be true, but it probably is, so congrats to both!
And is "God great" for the many who still suffer? This is such a selective moment to fit a belief.
Load More Replies...Your god made him live rough with no clothes. Through your kindness and his own hard work his life has improved. There is no god.
Congratulations are on you for giving him this chance!!!
God has nothing to do with thia (or with anything). You are good.
Human are good. No, shut up; there’s a lot of good human around. It’s mostly as a collective we go doolally tap and start burning witches and the like.
That had nothing to do with god and everything to do with the goodness of the man who hired him.
I hate that "God is good" c**p. If God's so great, why was he homeless in the first place? Or why are all the people sleeping outside tonight still there? No, a human was good.
You are the one that is good,a lovely human being. God had nothing to do with this set of kindness
Gotta have FAITH & you showed your FAITH in him. Great job to the two of you.
Thanks be to God and that is indeed a wonderful story! We need more folks like this employer in the world!
God is good. And so are the people that are helping God by being to others (as the Bible strongly recommends).
No, god didn't do anything, it was all that dude having faith in another person's humanity. God had nothing to do with it, just basic kindness.
Load More Replies...Cos religion divides. The very fact that you dislike certain people in the community because your religion dictates that you should only proves that.

Human beings are fundamentally social creatures. Our ancestors needed to form strong, durable social connections in order to survive, as well as to thrive.
Though our level of technological development has soared over thousands of years, our innate drive to connect and relate to others hasn’t gone away. It’s still very much present.

One way to connect to other people is through memes. At their core, memes are what we share and reshare. They can be ideas, funny pictures, or even attitudes. So when we laugh at memes or spam our social circles with them, we’re actively participating in the culture of a particular group of people. The only difference is that this is mostly done online now, rather than in person.
Lots Of Details Put On To This
I went to high school with a guy named Mark Weatherby. He drew on desks but was good enough he mostly got away with it because folks liked what he drew. He also got snagged by the cheerleaders to draw banners and such for homecoming games. Early on his work was super detailed doodles. Think "Where's Waldo" sort of stuff. Later much of his art became photorealistic. One example in link. TDLR: Encourage the artist. -= il_fullxfu...5_i2c8.jpg
Here A New Challenge To Make The World Clean
Since I Was A Kid I've Always Wanted To Get On Fire Truck. Are You Wanted???
It’s nice to stay in touch with your friends through cat memes and silly little Instagram reels. And remote communication is certainly better than being completely isolated and alone. However, online messaging will never replace quality meetups in person. Usually, people are busy with work, studying, parenting, and a dozen other things.
Some of them forget that relationships—like our health and skills—need consistent attention and nurturing.
Just Happy Being Included

Pavlov's Daughter
There are very utilitarian reasons to genuinely invest in building deep connections with other people. To put it bluntly, folks who have lots of meaningful, positive relationships in their lives live longer, have a higher quality of life, and are way happier.
So even if you prefer to be by yourself, it’s well worth consciously reaching out more often to the people you care about the most.
The Harvard Study of Adult Development has been running since 1938 and has been extensively covered in the news and by content creators in recent years. The 8+ decade-spanning study has come to a very simple, common sense, but important conclusion. Namely, that good relationships lead to health and happiness. However, The Atlantic notes that you must actively nurture those relationships. Hoping that they’ll turn out alright won’t be enough.
It Has Pockets
What do we want? We want pockets! When do we want them? We want them now!
Everyone Should
Everyone plays an important role in a company. There’s a story of a US pres (I want to say JFK maybe?) visiting NASA and asking the janitor what he did there. The man answered that he is helping put a man on the moon. Thank you to the janitors, maintenance workers, landscapers, etc who are behind the scenes yet making things beautiful and smooth for us.
Grandpa Always Has Candy
As Forbes comments on the Harvard study, supportive and nurturing relationships protect us against the stresses of life. Folks with strong(er) social connections have lower rates of diabetes and arthritis, as well as cognitive decline and other chronic conditions. In effect, these meaningful relationships help calm us down during turbulent times.

Good People Still Exist
It’s not just positive relationships that are good for us: their lack is horrible, utterly horrible, for our physical, emotional, and mental health. To be very clear, social isolation is a massive problem that wrecks people’s quality of life.
The US Surgeon General’s advisory made it clear that social disconnection is as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. However, once again, these connections have to be meaningful to improve our lives. Superficial chitchat at work or elsewhere doesn’t count for much.

When You Try To Take A Picture
We Can Use Social Media As A Force For Good
“To be clear, social connections don’t just mean happy hour or the water cooler chats we’ve mythologized since Covid killed the traditional workplace. True social connection is about creating moments of meaning that drive aligned purpose and belonging. Small or large affirmations that your voice matters, your colleagues trust you, your organization needs you. Social connection, or social capital, is the glue that holds your workplace together,” Ann Kowal Smith writes on Forbes.

Social disconnection affects more than just individual people’s lives or local communities. It costs American businesses roughly $154 billion a year. Employees who are socially connected are more productive. On the flip side, workers who find themselves isolated are not engaged. And they’re not happy. This leads to a lot of misery at work… and worse results for companies.

There are very clear reasons to foster meaningful connections and empathy, for individuals and businesses alike. And they’re easy to see whether you think altruism and relationships are valuable in their own right or if you’re looking at productivity spreadsheets. It sometimes takes a handful of silly memes to remind all of us that wholesomeness is a single kind act away.
Which of these memes did you think were the most wholesome, dear Pandas? What have you done recently to be kind to others? Share your thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of this article.
