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.

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.

Wholesome Moved In Together
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
Wow, that's fantastic! Thanks for sharing, what a talent.
Load More Replies...My child got in trouble often at school for doodling. We later found out that doodling can be a great coping skill for autism and ADHD, and can help the child to concentrate better on what the teacher is teaching. I wish all teachers knew this!
My first thought when I read this was “ADHD”. I find that having my hands doing something helps me focus. Something I didn’t discover until well into adulthood, when I noticed that I was always fiddling with something in my hands while watching TV.
Load More Replies...I doodled in the margins all the time and frequently got a telling off about it. Now I'm... uh, a writer, actually. But I also draw little comics like this one just for fun! 12573801_1...62-png.jpg
We have an outdoor cat, and I wish she would come sit on my lap like that, but sadly, no. It just ain't gonna happen.
Load More Replies...Also I'm doing some doodles on an A3 piece of paper and I want to fill it up completely, what do u guys doodle??
Load More Replies...That's Joe Whale, now a 13-year-old collaborating with Nike! Nice work, Joe: https://www.instagram.com/thejoewhale/
Those are very very good doodles. He has real talent! Another Bansky?
Let them doodle. If they're getting good grades while doodling, it's helping them pay attention while dealing with possibly ADHD or some other neurodivergence or possibly just boredom. I did it and got good grades and only recently was diagnosed with ADHD.
Pretty good actually - so much to see; I mean, you'd see something new every time you looked at it.
Congratulations! I hope this is the kid I saw here a few years ago and he finally finished it!
I hope they paid him well and opened a bank account for his future
I remember him. So very happy he's being recognized as having a worthwhile talent. :D
My teacher in grade school realized that I was paying attention and doodling allowed me to fidget without disrupting others, so she got me a blank workbook and some felts and encouraged me in a way that was life-changing. I wasn’t diagnosed ADHD until I was 18, and then I looked back at all the times I functioned better because of that trick ❤️ thanks Ms. B
My husband has same style of drawing. He is now a retired Professor of Maths & Physics - so, I predict a bright future for this young man!
That is so cool! Hope he gets hired for other things. Never stop doodling.
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.

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.
