The internet and social media can be places where the rougher edges of human nature are highly visible. But there are also opportunities to find a sweeter, softer side of the web. That doesn’t mean you forget about the bad things happening in the world, but that you make a conscious effort to save space for what is good. Wholesome memes, happy stories, and kind strangers do exist, and remaining open to them and what they can bring to us is an essential part of modern online mental health.

Wholesome content is a great way to keep your head above the water when you're drowning in negative posts online. It's always nice to have a change of pace, and it isn’t at all sappy or frivolous. These 14 pieces of content from Reddit's /r/MadeMeSmile were posted because they made Redditors smile, and now, hopefully, they'll make you smile too. If they don’t? Well, at least we tried.
