    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 😉

    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.

    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 life happened to end but I came back.

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

    I can’t afford them too often so when I do it’s a great day.

    I might have made a new friend in the real world! It’s quite exciting as that doesn’t happen often and I feel very lucky, if the friendship sticks.

    My sister changed her doctorate focus this year. Since then she has enjoyed her studies and lab work more. I am going to visit her since her professor sent her to a prestigious university for continued education becuase of her lab work.

    I’m proud of her.

      Friend I’m at the end of a two year long recovery to be able to use one of my arms again. It’s amazing to be able to do things with my upper body

      It is joyous
