It's not every day you see the whole year becoming a meme for how disastrous it’s going. Just take a look at people trying to laugh through it all in our previous posts here and here, and check out the "2020 described in one word" challenge right here.
Essentially, at this point, most of us are severely deprived of feel-good emotions. You need no doctor to say that the worldwide chaos has been taking its toll on us. But thankfully, there’s an antidote that’s said to soothe your soul and give you a much-needed fix of wholesomeness.
Sit back, relax, and get ready for the Bored Panda compilation of wholesome posts that will bring back hope in humanity and our future, because as long as we have these nice people, we are all going to be alright.

Be More Like Abdul
Back to work today, forgot my pass so locked bike outside Cannon Street station. Left work at 6 pm to find just the cut lock and no bike, resigned to never seeing my trusty stead again asked the station if they have cameras. A guy appeared waving at me, asked me to put the code into my cut lock. He replied âI have your bikeâ with a smile I will never forget!! His name is Abdul Muneeb and he works for South Eastern Railways, he was on a break and saw a guy bolt cut the lock and challenged him to give it back, he then took it inside and waited 4 hours after his shift finished to personally make sure I got my bike back. The world needs more Abdulâs, he is a legend of a man and a credit to his employer.

10 Years Of Work But It Was Worth It! Iâm A Provider At The Same Place I Used To Clean
The recent COVID Response Tracking Study conducted in May showed that Americans are the unhappiest they've been in 50 years. 31% of respondents said they were happy in 2018, but this year, only 14% could say the same thing.
Keeping your spirits high in these challenging times may often feel like mission impossible, but however hard it may be, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. We just need to learn to see it. Experts suggest starting from physical exercise, good sleep, and meditation because a healthy body carries a healthy soul.
Gretchen Rubin, author of the book “The Happiness Project,” believes that connecting with people, even if it’s not face-to-face communication, is also key.
“Ancient philosophers and contemporary scientists agree that connecting with people is truly important. We’re fortunate that we have so much technology we can use to connect with people who aren’t nearby.” She also suggests taking care of your loved ones and those who’re close to you, because empathy breeds feel-good emotions, and together we feel way stronger.
I'm So Happy For Her
Not just that, love. You had pictures taken and showed it online. You think you took a step, but you walked a mile.

What A Legend
Rubin also says that decluttering the space around you is a way to boost inner happiness. “Decluttering can be difficult now, with more people home and a heavier load on your household, but whatever you can do can help give you a sense of control over your life.”
This sense of control is essential to whoever feels overwhelmed by the chaos which has been happening in the world lately. In the end, all things, good or bad, pass with time. Soon the challenges will become history, and some may even remember all this free time we have on our hands with yearning. So why not use it to the benefit of our well-being, both inner and outer?

You Are Beautiful, Melissa
She is the best - smart, devoted, hilarious. She's a wonderful advocate for the disabled.

What is wrong with those people? How can they live with themselves saying those harsh words to another human beeing?
How can anyone not smile when they see her pics! Sheâs always smiling, and itâs infectious!
Ok. She is not ugly. Some people are horrible. I mean she might not be what you think of 'beauty' but she looks kind, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You go mellisa.
Personally I think she looks adorable and so sweet and kind. I can't help but smile when I see her
Load More Replies...
Who the hell told you were ugly?!?! do I need to "talk" to them?! cuz I will (ÙâąÌnâąÌ)Ù also good for you Melissa, stay strong :)
oh man i remember her from a while back, she's awesome to stand up to stupid people like that!
Ugly only comes from within, and the trolls show it. You, my friend, are not ugly at all!
The first thing my 13 yr. old daughter said as I scrolled to this picture was, "I like her hair." I then explained the caption, and both my kids were confused as to why people would say she is ugly.
Ugly? Those trolls are the ugly ones. You're brave and beautiful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You are strong, you believe in yourself, and you have a wonderful smile! Just let the haters entertain themselves. They can't be having a very good life.
This woman is just amazing. Love her really!!!!!! Her Instragram is the best!!!!
Your beautiful soul shine through your eyes and smile. đ
Why people feel the need to inject hate and hurt into other people's lives for no darn reason is just beyond my comprehension.
Some people are just miserable and can't stand to see anyone be happy. Ignore them. They're the ones with the problem.
Melissa, you are so cute ! Lots of love, and keep with the selfies!!!!
Wow! Scary to learn there are people like that in the world. They are definitely ugly, you are definitely not. You look wonderful.
I couldnât love this more!! So glad you didnât listen to the trolls!
I don't remember which book, but I once read that only hate makes you ugly, as long as you're loving you will always be beautiful.
Melissa you are a strong woman, nobody on this damn earth is allowed to say so body is ugly so the others were ugly when saying you are ugly, forget what people are meaning about other person's, you are beautiful like yourself đđ hope you send every day pics, go on an make your way like you want to do.
Don't listen to what people say! Everyone's beautiful in their own special ways, no matter what other people say
People need to not open their mouths if they donât have something nice to say
It takes just as much tie to be kind as to be a jerk. What's wrong with the people who bullied her?
Hi Melissa I look so much like you, we could be sisters. We are both BEAUTIFUL.
who called you ugly! let me at 'em! I personally believe you are absolutely gorgeous!
The people that said you were ugly are ugly inside, and that's what counts the most
Melissa you have a beautiful smile and I can tell from that smile you are beautiful inside.
I'm so happy you ignore the haters! Their words mean nothing! You are a beautiful person inside & out & don't ever let anyone tell you differently.
They are the ones that should be banned for being just hateful! You are great!
I LOVE this young woman's face. She looks like someone I would like to hug, and often.
often internal beauty is far more beautiful then the external... (but today is more often the opposite!)
Beauty comes from the heart and mind and is not often reflected outside. Keep smiling and be proud of that inner golden beauty. Keep posting those pictures too!
Master troll level received. Stay tuned for next month award presentation.
I think you are beautiful, Melissa, and it is a pleasure to see your smiling face on this page. Don't let the turkeys get you down, fly with the eagles, kiddo. Hugs, Skip
I think you are beautiful, and it is a pleasure to see your pretty face on this page.
Every person has value. You probably are at least someone's daughter, or a sister, aunt, someone's mother. You are precious to all of them .Love you.
Melissa is a hero for posting these pictures and believing in herself!
Just be yourself, it's what is in our heart, that matters !!!
Excuse me? Ugly? With that smile and that shiny lovely hair. I don't think so. A picture of you sure brightened my day so keep posting.
The peop;e who siad you were ugly were the ones who are ugly. The world needs more smiles like yours so please keep on smiling.
The people who made such comments are the ugly ones Melissa. You ave a sweet, sweet smile and that is what the world needs more of.
You have a nice smile and a beautiful hair color. I always wanted red hair. Lucky you! I'm jealous.
People can be so awful I'm so glad you had the courage To keep going so you could find us and we can tell you how great you're doing Because you are awesome!
Hi Melissa, I am Melissa too. Nothing wrong with the way you look. You seem like a nice person.
You look like others I go round with. Stay away from people like that.
Don't listen to those people! You're beautiful, and i'm not just saying that, what matters is on the inside, and you seem like a wonderful person!
she looks prettier than me! whoever called her ugly, is just jealous!
Oh Melissa! You made my day! You look Wonderfull and you are badass awesome!
You have to be a special kind of asshole to roam around the internet insulting people
People who say those stupid things are the ones who are already dead inside. Good for this woman to not let them pull her down. Let's celebrate her đ„ł
The people calling her names are clearly total c**ts but we can perhaps find comfort in the fact they're going to fail spectacularly at life.
What I can see is her wickedly amazing personality shining in her eyes.
Why can't people mind their own business? If they don't want to see her, just don't look at her pictures. Who are they to tell her what to do and what not to do?
that is so rude!!she is so cute and if they think she is ugly they should shut the hell up and not share it TO HER!!but whatever the case it was really rocking of her to comeback with 3 selfies =) <3 <3 lots of love to you hun
She's not ugly at all! She's adorable, like a happy lady in a cartoon who's just the sweetest!
She looks like a happy person that would be easy to talk to, which is a rare and wonderful quality to have.
All that matters in the end is whether you have an ugly heart. The trolls might all look like supermodels in real life (unlikely), but they have shown us all that they have ugly, cowardly hearts.
You're not in the least bit ugly. Can't say the same for the trolls...
Those trolls are disgusting in their souls while you are beautiful and delightful.
But I guarantee I would choose you for my friend and know you would be a true friend over any of those so called beautiful people. Beauty is from within.
You've got your own kind of beauty! Those people are ugly all the way through.

A group of young kids caught me on my way into the store. Asked me if I wanted to make a bet. I replied âIâm a gambling manâ. Older kid said he could ride a wheelie on his bike stop sign to stop sign. I said no way... and how much? He said 10 bucks. I said why 10? He said they wanted a large pizza at Dominos... I said deal. He came very close but couldnât hold it his wheelie that long... While they were figuring out how to come up with 10 bucks, I had already ordered their pizza plus a 2 liter of Sprite. Made my night. Love seeing kids be kids.

But I saw your windows got broken and wanted to help. You once gave me a free tour before the pandemic, so this is a thank you.â In my time as Executive Director, I have seen OHS receive truly incredible gifts â but this one has touched my heart tremendously."

This Guy Got Accepted To Harvard After Working As A Trash Collector To Support His Family
"So I got denied by all of the colleges I applied to after high school, so I picked up a job as a trash man to help my pops out. But a chance to go to Bowie State popped up. However, I needed to keep my job so I could help out my dad with the bills because my brother was already in college.
My brother legit dropped out of school after the semester finished so he could get a job to cover the bills, so that I could go to school.
That sacrifice is the only reason Iâm going to Harvard Law School this fall.
This wouldnât have been possible without you. I love you, big bro."

A Mourning Dove Had Been Trapped In Our Chimney For Hours. With His iPhone & A Flashlight Taped To A Board & Facetime Guiding The Way, Hubby Was Able To Retrieve The Poor Thing
A little more detail on the story: we noticed one of our cats was very interested in our fireplace yesterday morning, but we figured it was just weird curious kitty being weirdly curious. A few hours later, hubby (home teaching remotely) heard scratching sounds and thought something was in the chimney so he went on the roof to check. He saw this little dove waay at the bottom, resting on a ledge near the flue.
It took some repeated efforts (and resulted in soot. EVERYWHERE.), but eventually âDustyâ fell through the flue into the fireplace and I grabbed her with a blanket.
She was squinty and pretty lethargic, so I called a wildlife rescue and they advised we keep her in the small cage overnight with some food and water to let her recover from the stress. If she was still puffy and lethargic in the morning, we needed to bring her in (as a native species, sheâs protected, so we canât rehab without a license). After about 7-8 hours, Dusty showed some normal bird-like behavior and this morning she was ready to go. We let her out in the front yard near the bird feeders the doves loveâprobably what sheâd been eyeing from our chimney.
And hubby bought a chimney cap so this doesnât happen again.

Although that's incredibly sweet & generous of the donater, I can't be the only one who finds it depressing that a lot of kids seem to think becoming a youtuber is a realistic career goal. It isn't. Even if you make the best content in the world, there's a good chance nobody will ever see it. In the end it comes down to chance. I hate to sound like a boomer shitting on the younger generations, but it's sad that kids these days have such unambitious goals. I hope he has a backup plan for when his channel eventually falls through. Edit: Instagram influencers, too. So many kids want to be famous on YouTube or Instagram but the vast majority of popular kids' creators are massive douchebags with substanceless content, shallow narcissistic "personalities", & an affinity for flexing their money & success. I'm not saying this kid is anything like that, but the "role models" online are hardly worth trying to be like.

We're Just A Car Wash, So We Have To Assume This Customer (Who's Moving) Wrote Notes Like This For Multiple Local Businesses. And She Brought Donuts
Awesome Lady (Bro) Giving Her Leftovers And Chatting With This Homeless Gentleman. He Was Extremely Thankful For The Food And Her Friendliness
Treating the poor and/or homeless like the normal people they are is priceless.
Dominos Delivery Guy Being A Bro Helping A Guy Who Was Stuck In The Crosswalk Of A Busy Intersection!
Before my hip surgery (I was only 45) I had to use a cane. My hip literally seized in the middle of the crosswalk and down I went. I couldn't believe how many people were by my side in a matter of seconds. I was fine, more embarrassed than anything. That was 12 years ago, but I still remember the polite concern of all those strangers.

There's a company that delivers these for drive by celebrations,then comes to pick them up.Such an awesome idea during these times of social distancing.

Our neighborhood policeman would call using the phone at building entry before writing tickets and towing cars. He said the temporary no parking signs were put up at the last minute, so the tickets were unfair. Asking us to move our cars was easier and quicker. The building superintendents told him who owned which car. The week after the Marathon Bombing, police were working multiple shifts. The mayor asked them to help people feel comfortable and to answer any questions they could. My neighbor was struggling the day of the shelter in place order (not lockdown) She wanted to go outside and see the memorial. I went with her. A policeman saw us and raced over shouting, "Are you okay? Can I help?" We were not in near the active investigation, but still asked to shelter in place. Of course not every police officer was as thoughtful and people were treated harshly or unfairly elsewhere in the city. My experience may have been unique. I miss living there
I believe we all have kindness inside. How we use it matters. The above stories are examples of the possibilities of kindness.

The first time we were on the escalator and he said "High five for a merry christmas!" So for the fun of it I did it and it cheered me up and he noticed and said "And one more for good luck in the new year!" So I did. This year with the pandemic I have not been able to go to Asda and today at 11am in my very local supermarket, as I was queueing to get served I heard from behind me "High five for a merry christmas!" I turned around and he was standing there with a big grin on his face. We did a socially distanced air high five and the new years luck one and he left the queue. I asked him where he was going and he said "I only joined the queue to give you the high fives, stay safe mate!" and he left. That was 20 minutes ago. I have depression and this simple little act of kindness always helps see me through the year. I think he is about 14 or
Took Hubby to a big appointment yesterday. SOmeone had lined the drive to the cancer center with sign after sign of THANK YOU and YOU ARE GREAT, all hand-drawn in marker.... And I thought, "Humanity isn't doomed."
I read all of these and... this is officially starred for when I feel bad.
All of these made me throw my hands up in the air like my grandma in church. I can't stop smileing. thank you for this.
Yes, this post is long. This post is wonderful. This post will make you cry or sniffle. Loved it. Got a little lost toward the end. But, I enjoyed and felt them all.
the perfect song/vibe to listen to while reading this, Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra. I wish I had seen this sooner though...
It was so uplifting to know all the truly caring people in this world. God is smiling.
I MADE IT!! I FINISHED THIS WHOLE POST! ITS DAMN 12:18 AM RN, BUT I MADE IT! THE BEST POST I READ THIS WHOLE MONTH!
This was a lovely post, but way too long! Next time, please cut this into 2, 3 or even 4 different posts! I would have forwarded it to all of my friends, but they would have killed me for sending such a huge file.
I wanna know how the posts from 2018 are supposed to restore my faith in 2020.
Maybe by reminding us that goodness still exists and that although we mostly see negative news in 2020, that's not all there is.
