They say don’t talk to strangers. Well, they were wrong…
Everyone’s a stranger before you get to know them!
And how will you get to know someone if you just avoid them or treat them like… a stranger?
Share the love! Fortunately, there’s a lot of it to go around.
Speaking of which, want to see something inspiring? Want to see the most wholesome thing you’ll see all month?
Well, enough with the questions. You’ve come to the right place.
Trust me, it simply does not get more heartwarming than the moments below!
1) The Queen’s Gambit
Saw an elderly man make a move and patiently wait for another player. An unlikely partner appeared and warmed my heart. from r/MadeMeSmile
If this isn’t heartwarming, I don’t know what is. I wonder who won? Some say that’s the old man from the short at the beginning of A Bug’s Life.
2) Bags of Kindness
Couldn’t Crosspost from r/HumansBeingBros. Made me smile. from r/MadeMeSmile
It made us smile too, ThatOneGuyRunningOEM. From ear to ear. Trash bags don’t usually come stuffed full of kindness and love!
3) Remedying Your Lows at Lowe’s
Lowe’s ran out of generators, and a complete stranger gave his generator to a woman whose father is living on oxygen. People helping people. I love my state. from r/pics
This one seriously brought a tear to my eye. What a literal lifesaver. When life has you low, go to Lowe’s… That should be their new slogan.
4) Spider-plant
Spider-plant, spider-plant… I wonder if Spider-man has some of these? But seriously, giving these away is super cool. I want one now.
5) Ukulele Love
The ukulele is one of the great instruments in this world. It’s basically a mini-guitar. I’m sure that message made the guitarist’s week!
6) Post-It Love
Each day during my quarantine the staff of the hotel give me a post-it like this from r/MadeMeSmile
We need love now more than ever during this pandemic. Even the little things can surely brighten a day! This is a pure example of people being awesome!
7) NYC Commute Miracle
New York City commutes might be “hellish,” but every now and then you get a glimpse of heaven. The city’s full of awesome people! This is one of the most wholesome projects ever imagined.
8) The Love of the Game
How could anyone say no to that? What a wonderful, handwritten card! She’s going to be a shooting prodigy!
9) Pinwheel Party
Pinwheels are pretty cool, let’s be honest. They look so inviting. This is a great idea to brighten a day!
10) New Tires
Every car owner needs some new tires every once in a while. Turns out, there are still some good people in this world! Tires aren’t exactly cheap, too.
11) Free Hugs
Here I am giving a hug to a woman who was giving them out for free in Washington Square Park in NYC before the pandemic :)) (2019) from r/MadeMeSmile
How much is a hug worth? Have you seen the roast episode of The Office? Hugs are priceless.
12) Exclusive Parking
This is the epitome of wholesome. This tyke’s been parking his wheels at that post for eons. Now, it’s his post. Thank you kind stranger!
13) Garbage Bag Guardian
To whoever the beautiful soul is that put a trash bag over my open window in the rain: I offer you a very sincere thank you! from r/pics
Countless car owners have left their windows open on a rainy day. Unfortunately, it can ruin the interior. But when you have amazing neighbors, you’re covered!
14) Dog Laundry
If your faith in humanity ever wavered (looking at you, 2020) hopefully it’s been restored! 2021 is much, much better than last year, fortunately. This sign’s just further proof. This doggo’s gonna be okay.
15) Tie Trouble
A stranger helping out another stranger struggling with his tie from r/MadeMeSmile
Do you know how to tie a tie? Do you go with the Windsor Knot? This is such a kind gesture. People helping people. This is how it should be all the time.
16) Picking Up the Tab
Babies lead to all sorts of improvisations. Parenting ain’t easy, that’s for sure. Sometimes, a stranger’s simple act of kindness can make a world of difference.
17) School Helper
They say don’t talk to strangers. Well, this example shows that not all strangers are threats! In fact, not many are! He made it to school just fine thanks to this kind neighbor.
18) Wholesome Neighbors
Although we were slightly disappointed to find out that this story wasn’t actually about a real penguin, it’s oh so wholesome! These are neighbors helping neighbors. People helping people. You love to see it.
19) Post Office Pals
I made a new friend today while waiting for the post office to open after lunch. Meet Beverly. from r/MadeMeSmile
The post office isn’t exactly the friendliest place sometimes. Making friends in those little moments you get throughout the day can mean the world. Hello, Beverly!
20) Escalator Savior
The older man was paused at the top of an escalator afraid to hop on. This young man offered the simplest kindness: an out-reached arm and a “can I help you on, sir?” from r/MadeMeSmile
The escalator isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Most people don’t like heights to some extent. But have no fear, your friendly stranger is here to save the day! This is as wholesome as it gets.
Feeling all warm and fuzzy? We are too.
