50 Posts To Lift Your Spirits Up When You’re Feeling Down (New Pics)
Our Earth can be a rough place. But you don't need me to remind you of it. The media is already full of stories about anger, deceit, and wreckage. And while we can't ignore our problems, hoping they might just go away, we do sometimes need a break from them.
To remind you that there's still plenty of goodness in this world, Bored Panda put together a new list of feel-good posts from all across the internet. Personal growth, empathetic relationships, we included everything. But if you scroll through the publication and your heart still needs more warmth, fire up our earlier renditions of wholesomeness here, here, and here.

Finally Able To Start Walking Again
Active duty military. I was taking part in an airborne operation when I had a horrible night landing.
Simultaneously damaged both shoulders (labrum, rotator, and biceps), and both hips (labrum, femur heads). I have been suffering from constant chronic pain and have been having a harder and harder time walking.
I’ve spent the last five years on the surgeons table. The hips continued to get worse no matter what we tried, and I’ve been unable to walk more than a block due to the pain.
I finally gave in and agreed to a hip replacement. Surgery was on Monday. Here I am two days later. On day 6 I did a block and a half for the first time in a very long time.
The other hip will be replaced in February. I woke up today without the chronic pain for the first time in five years. I cried because I had forgotten what it felt like not to be in pain.
My wife has never let me give up. And here I am smiling for the first time in a long time.
There is hope. Hang in there!

To all the people reading this: You are beautiful, you are unique, you have so much talents. You are a special protagonist in your story. This may be the end of 2021. If there's any good things happen in your life, keep moving forward because it's not the end of the story, this is a new chapter of your life. If bad things had happened to you, don't stop, keep marching, because you are in your character development story. We may have never meet face to face before, but we are friends that shaking hands and said how do you do, no matter where we are from, what color we have, if we are are part of queer or not or what religions we follow. May your day fill with rainbows

I'd like to add to this! I am a writer. I manipulate the lives of dozens if not hundreds of characters. Whenever I allow my characters to have a tough time in their life, it is because I want them to rise to greatness in the future. One of my primary characters lived through the deaths of her best friends, suffered a stillbirth which resulted in her breaking up with her boyfriend, and was neglected by her parents as a child. She goes on to become the queen of her country, the greatest queen that had ever ruled. Keep in mind that in rough times, the author of your story is writing you a good future even as you suffer now. Stay strong, my beloved friends.
