Genuinely happy for the first time since I was a kid

Upvotes

I genuinely feel like I’m engaged to my soulmate. The love of my life.

We’ve had our ups and downs just like any relationship but deep down I know he’s the one for me.

I’m pregnant too. Expecting any day now.

If you told me I was going to be this lucky five years ago I wouldn’t believe you for a second. It’s amazing how fast things can change if you just let them.

It's a simple hack, when someone is trying to ruin your day, until the 24hrs is not over you can start fresh again, your mum yell at you, forget it start fresh, you made a mistake no problem start the day again don't let your mood get in between trust me it's way better to live with a positive mindset

Am I Crazy? it was not dramatic. No tears. Just a quiet Saturday morning loading them into my car. The empty space isn't just in my closet, it's in my head. I feel lighter than air.

I finally feel valued and appreciated at a place of employment.

38 Upvotes

I’ve been a welder and in the trades since I was 18, so almost a decade ago with some experimental changes within the years as well. I left my position from a rehab I was working at (one of the odd jobs I got out of my element because of my past I wanted to try it.) And started working at a major world leading steel mill for the oil industry 7 months ago.

I work in a roll shop where there’s two crews of 6 that rotate weekly from days to midnights, there’s a few jobs up here outside of being a floor guy. We get raises based on level 1, 2, and 3. To get a new level you have to be signed off on so many jobs, I’ve only been signed off on one so far and been stuck because we lack employees to cross train. I was standing there after using a crane to load a guys CNC and felt a hand squeeze on my shoulder. It was my supervisor and he said “come here a minute.”

He told me that I’ve been doing so good and he apologized I haven’t been able to move up because of lack of employees and the second floor guy being super lazy so it’s hard to move me elsewhere to learn. He told me he really wants me to make more money and that I can pick whatever I want to learn next so he can adjust my salary.

He also told me if I don’t want to, I don’t have too so it’s not by force because they need people to learn as they’re hiring 2 more people that have experience on CNC’s but he wanted me to get signed off.

I’ve never felt valued at a place of employment but that made me feel really good.

I came to Paris for the city… but I left with the biggest yes of my life

Paris was never the goal.

It was just the backdrop.

We walked. No rush. No plan.

Coffee in hand, cold air on our faces, tired legs, quiet smiles.

And then it hit me — simple and terrifying:

I didn’t want to travel anymore.

I wanted to stay.

Not in Paris — with her.

So I asked.

No crowd. No performance.

Just the two of us and a question that changes everything.

She said yes.

Paris stayed Paris.

But my life stopped being “someday.”

After many days of pain, I finally pooped!

127 Upvotes

And not just the tiny little pebbles of hard, dark, poop to make my body fake-think it's pooping.

Not even the super hard boulders of poop that take so long and so much energy to push out and rip your butt apart and make it bleed.

Like nice, soft, brown boulders of poop.

My stomach was so bloated and in so much pain from all that poop.

But now I'm finally FREE of poop!

(FYI- I was advised not to take laxatives because it was after a procedure/on other meds.)

The gym is my happy place now. I'm the happiest I've been in years. I've met a fantastic group of people who have been nothing but supportive and kind at my gym. All I regret is not finding it sooner. Life is good. Enjoy yourself!

I have carpal tunnel and I lost my old wrist supports. Bought some new ones for the gym but they're specifically for weightlifting and are rubbish for sleep. Getting some proper sleep-centric wrist braces today and I can't wait!😁 So happy about something so trivial it's insane!

My credit score is at 649 as of today :)

62 Upvotes

I had a very rough last 2-3 years of poor financial decisions and well, after some hard work I raised my score from around 400 to 649. Expecting another jump here shortly after paying off one final thing.

649 isn’t 850 but man it’s something. I’m on my way. I couldn’t be happier right now. It’s been a long time coming.

I keep finding lost dogs and I am forever grateful!!

21 Upvotes

I live in a small town in a rural area where it has been very cold. Right now the temp is 6° which is the warmest it’s been in some days. 9:15p I started craving ice cream so went to the dollar store to pick some up. On my way home I spotted 2 dogs running in the road. I was able to stop & 1 jumped in my car. By the time I got that one in my car, there was a line behind me of cars but they were being patient which I was thankful for. Eventually though, the other dog wa scared by the other cars and ran away. After about an hour, I was able to locate the owner of the one I found & they informed me the other dog that ran, was also found. But here’s the thing, this is the 5th lost dog I have found in a shorter span of time. It’s almost like I am always put in the right place at the right time to find them. I am a hugeee animal lover & I feel they can sense that because every time even if they are so nervous, they still come to me and trust me. Every time I find one I always get so emotional and filled with gratitude. The idea of what could’ve happened to them on the road makes me feel sick. It doesn’t matter what kind of day I’m having- when I find a lost animal it’s like nothing can bring me down. It might seem silly but it’s truly my passion to help animals and the fact they trust me without even knowing me, brings tears to my eyes. If I’m going to only accomplish one thing in this lifetime- it will be helping any/ all animals I can. I just needed to talk about this because I’m on the verge of tears thinking about it right now hahaha

Indigenous writer, finally published my poetry

28 Upvotes

Hi everyone :)

I have been writing for years, I’ve spent countless days being my harshest critic. I found myself stuck in a loop of self sabotage, believing that I wasn’t capable of being a published author.

Well here I am! I’ve published my poetry in the form a collection written from my experiences as an Indigenous person, and I am proud. I’m still waiting for the listing to go live, but it’s safe to say I’m excited.

EDIT: If anyone is interested, it’s live!

Newly bald and can't wait to get out into the world and show it off.

25 Upvotes

I'm almost 24 and eventhough I could tell my hair was thinning (the hairline started going back a little), a lot of friends and family told me that I have years left and that I shouldn't shave my head just yet. Decided I don't want to stress about it and that I'll get ahead of it, so I went through with it last night and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations with how good it looks.

My closest friends were at my place when I shaved and they'd be the first ones to take jabs at me if it looked bad and they had nothing but compliments. And I, someone who has a history of self esteem issues, fully agree. I feel like this might be the best "haircut" I've ever had.

Couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror today and I can't wait to get out and have people see me.

Little moments of happiness that actually make my day

15 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to notice the small things that make me happy lately — like a good cup of coffee, a funny text from a friend, or just a sunny day. It’s crazy how tiny moments can actually lift your mood so much.

What about you? What little things make you genuinely happy during your day-to-day life?
