Made Me Tear Up
My Sweet Girl Is Cancer Free Today
I'm 16, Over 300lbs, And Just Went On My First Walk In Over A Year
While scrolling through the internet, we never really know what’s coming next. One minute it’s a funny cat flopping off a table, the next, it’s breaking news that makes your chest feel heavy. And while being informed matters, so does your peace of mind. Not everything has to weigh you down. Sometimes, it’s okay to pause, breathe, and find joy in something small. After all, your sanity deserves it.
Studies have shown that constantly consuming distressing content can ramp up anxiety and stress. Your sleep suffers, your mood takes a hit, and suddenly everything feels a bit off. That’s why good stories matter more than we think. They pull us back, soften the hard edges of the world. They remind us that goodness still exists, quiet, steady, and real. You just have to notice it.
Today I Have Been Sober For One Year. Coincidentally, This Has Been The Best 365 Days Of My Life. Perhaps Even Consequently So. All I Know Is That I Feel Great
This Guy Being A True Boss
"You Have A Village Even When You Don’t Know It"
And that’s where wholesome posts come in; they’re little antidotes to chaos. Today, we’ve got a story that’s going to feel like a cozy blanket on a bad day. It’s not flashy or dramatic, just honest and kind. Bored Panda spoke to a man who doesn’t just talk kindness, he sews it. Meet Ravi Shah, a tailor from Gujarat who stitches joy into every thread.
Known lovingly as “Mota Bhai” or Big Brother, Ravi isn’t your average tailor. He’s taken leftover fabric from his clients and turned it into something magical. Instead of tossing scraps, he uses them to make outfits for kids in need. His goal? To make every child feel seen, loved, and fashionable. And he’s doing just that.
What A Wholesome Couple
Dad Taking His Son To Places
What An Amazing Love Story
Ravi remembers his first trip to a mall like it was yesterday. “It felt like walking into a dream,” he says. But that dream came with price tags too steep for many. Seeing street kids in worn-out clothes never sat right with him. The memory lingered, long after the mall lights faded. So, he decided to do something about it, with a needle and a heart full of empathy.
“Most of these kids wear hand-me-downs or whatever they find,” Ravi explained. “Some shirts drown them, others barely fit.” And he couldn’t unsee it. That discomfort, that lack of dignity, it sparked an idea. “I thought, why not use leftover cloth?” he said. “Why not make something just for them, made with care?” That’s how it began.
Been Stuck Inside For Weeks After Major Surgery. Told My Husband That I Miss Outside, Particularly The Stars And Moon. He Later Serves Me Lunch With Cheese He Cut Into Stars And Moons
He says I know that’s not what you want but here’s a placeholder until I can get you outside. I married a good man.
That’s Just Beautiful
Protect This Man
“When customers leave extra fabric, I always ask if I can use it,” he shared. With those bits and pieces, he crafts everything from tiny kurtas to fun little dresses. He doesn’t ask for payment, and he never expects praise. During his quiet hours, he sews, bringing life to what others would discard.
Ravi measures each child carefully, just like any paying customer. “Depending on the fabric, I create what fits best,” he said. There’s joy in watching a tunic come together from four random prints. And when the kids try it on? The room lights up. “Their excitement makes it worth every second,” he said, smiling.

Gotta Make Your Own Fun At Work
My Dad Is Afraid To Fly, So When I Was 5 Years Old I Made Him A Doll To Hold On The Plane. Mom Just Sent Me This Picture. He Is Packed To Come Visit Me. The Doll Is 43 Years Old
Some of Ravi’s clients have caught on to his mission. “A few even bring me extra material just for this,” he said proudly. “They know I’ll put it to good use.” And he does, no scrap goes to waste in his shop. With each piece, a little more hope is stitched into the seams. Kindness really is contagious, isn’t it?

She Is A Great Kid And I’m Lucky To Be Her Mom
I'm In Tears Just From Reading That
Ravi’s favorite part? Making clothes that don’t look secondhand. “I want them to feel like they’re wearing something new and cool,” he said. No saggy collars or outdated designs. Just bright, cheerful clothes made with love. “They should feel proud, not pitied.” And in those moments, they do.

My Aunt Saved My Life By Being A Live Liver Donor For Me
I have an autoimmune disease called PSC. After 15 years with the disease I was at the end stages of liver failure and was placed on the transplant list as of February this year. I knew it would be years on the list and was told I might not be healthy enough to go through a live liver donor. We did some work and got my health to a place where I could handle a live liver transplant.
I didn’t ask anyone but told my family my status and my aunt immediately volunteered. She gave up so much to be able to do this for me. Went through lots of tests and appointments just to get to this point. We are two weeks post surgery and although recovery has been tough, we are both heading in the right direction. I’m so thankful for this new gift of life she so graciously has given me.
About A Week Ago A Little Girl Left Behind Her Teddy Bear At Our Hotel. We Made Sure Auggie Had An Amazing Adventure Before Being Sent Back Home
He still remembers one little girl twirling in her new birthday dress. Her mother had asked for a fairy outfit, and Ravi gave it his all. “I used every colorful scrap I had,” he laughed. The result? A rainbow-hued masterpiece that brought pure joy. “She looked like magic,” he said. And for him, that memory will always sparkle.

After Nearly 2 Months Of Being Unemployed, Horrible Depression, And Eating Nothing But Rice And Beans For The Past Two Weeks I Now Have 2 Jobs
I am not only very happy, but extremely grateful.
Despite all the praise, Ravi keeps it simple. “There’s no master plan,” he shrugged. “Just doing what I can, with what I have.” No big announcements, no fancy campaigns. Just quiet consistency and heart. “Kindness doesn’t need noise to be real,” he added as he picked up his next patch of fabric.

I’ve Been Talking About It For Ages. Today Was Finally The Day
I Suffer From Severe Depression. Traveled More Than 6000 Miles (9800 Kms) For A Solo Vacation To L.A. I Never Been This Happy In Years
This is what I need to do. Yeah, I have bad depression sometimes. It hits and I'm tired of it. Medications didn't work. I eat well, brain foods. I get sunlight. I exercise. I'm sober. I have goals. I keep a journal. I do Therapy. I learn new things. I've considered electric shock treatment but I can't afford it without insurance. I'm learning more about self defeating personality and trying to identify my triggers. I'm still hopeful I can heal my brain. I keep working on it. I get dysphoric but that's different than my depression episodes. As much as I've learned about psychology I do believe it's more trauma from childhood over clinical. It could be stamped clinical but I have digged deep within me to see as much as I could about my behaviors. I'm misdiagnosed Bipolar a lot and it's not the case. It's really disheartening health care professionals can't seem to understand BPD vs Bipolar 😕 and self defeating has been taken out of the DSM. I have low self esteem and that can trigger the depression as well as loneliness. But, when it hits I can't function. I tell myself.. why you have such low self esteem!!? You're such a fighter and such a brave girl!! No, it just comes from the lack of from mommy and daddy as a kid and I deal with it everyday.
So here’s your reminder: goodness exists. Sometimes in grand gestures, sometimes in stitched seams. Ravi’s story isn’t just about tailoring clothes; it’s about crafting dignity, one child at a time. Just like these heartwarming posts, his work reminds us what really matters. Which part made you smile today? Let us know in the comments.

I do this for my husband too, but my art isn't good. I use a lot of stickers to help my art. He also enjoys the fun lunch bags. I'm glad to see others do it as well. My dad had put a smile face on my lunches when I was a kid and now I like to make nice bags for my husband. It was one of my rare happy childhood memories. Despite the paper waste, I don't care. I try my best with other Earth saving things. The lunch bags are just special.

Pay for the beer with the money your dad wanted you to use, then give the bartender a 20 dollar bill and ask for two 10's back (or give bartender a different tenner and ask for your dad's one back). Keep your dad's bill. Btw, you can repeat this on every birthday, and maybe the anniversary of your dad's passing - or his birthday, if you prefer!

My kid would have loved this as a toddler. He could entertain himself with rocks for hours. I have a super cute video of him dropping rocks in a big puddle. They were on opposite sides of the driveway so he spent quite a long time toddling back and forth picking up the rocks and dropping them in the water.

I hit a guy at a toll booth and really didn't want my insurance to go up so I begged him to just let me pay for the damage. He begrudgingly agreed to take my business card so he could contact me with the price. He emailed me the next day to tell me his friend was able to get the dent out in his garage so I didn't have to worry about paying for it. I was so happy I dent him $100.00 so he could take his wife out for a nice dinner.
