    I was on Lemmy and saw a post where a user named TooManyPancakes (which is a lie!) asked everyone for some uplifting news to brighten their day.

    It was a wonderful exchange! This caring person, with the poorly chosen user name, took time out of their day to reply to as many comments as they could, with uplifting affirmations of their own.

    Completely made my day to see someone ask for help and then return it in kind, many times over. ❤️❤️❤️

      Aw, you’re sweet! I just figured I probably wasn’t the only one that could use some positivity today

      And for the record, it takes a lot of pancakes 😉

    I got hired!

    Granted, my bike was stolen pretty much immediately, but still! I’m exited to potentially not be broke anymore, once that first paycheck comes in.

    Found a woman that is exactly as weird and different as I am, which I thought was impossible, I was already fine with staying romantically alone my whole life :)

    My life happened to end but I came back.

    Additionally, since I’m from Europe I am not bankrupt due to that.

      Congratulations on your next chapter! A friend of mine had a freak cardiac event where his heart stopped for 7 minutes and they brought him back. Says he doesn’t remember anything except being home and then waking up in the hospital. Wild stuff.

        Thanks!

        For me it was almost 30 minutes but under low flow. The root cause is still unknown and I am neither the age nor in any risk group.

        When the defibrillator is used you get medication that causes memory loss for around a day before so theres no memory for me.

        Also got some wild medication and there’s a lot more to it but sufficient for now.

        Best wishes to your (too) undead friend.

    I finally unlocked the confidence to be the version of me that I want to be. Got the haircut I’ve always wanted, have it dyed the colour I want, I’m getting a new piercing soon, and I’m planning out the tattoo I’m going to get once I have some spare money. It’s been a journey to get here, but I’m so fucking happy with who I am and I no longer feel the need to apologize for being comfortable as my self.

      Shit yes! Be unapologetically you, you deserve it. I’m super curious though, if there’s any more detail on the piercing and tattoo you wanna share (totally no obligation)

    My partner and I replaced the broken kitchen faucet all by ourselves, which might sound lame, but neither of us is a plumber, and it’s glorious to have running water in the kitchen again.

    Yesterday my toddler comes up to me and says, “daddy, build block tower?” So I tell her to go get her blocks, which she does. We built a block tower, knocked it down (which makes her giggle), built it again, etc.

    A decade ago I was in a horribly toxic marriage and honestly didn’t think I would ever have kids. Today, I have an awesome wife and three kids. I love all of them and I enjoy getting to spend time with them. I never would have imagined myself being where I am today and I am reminded often that I am a very lucky man.
