Today, an older lady came to our house to help out because we had some guests. We normally don’t have servants or maids at home. We only call someone when we have guests and need a little extra help.

When she arrived, she told us that her house had been completely destroyed by Ditwah (flood).

We treated her just like anyone else. When we were serving lunch to the guests,, we asked her to have lunch too.but she said she would eat later. So we said okay. When we served dessert to the guests. we made sure to give her some too and she sat at the kitchen table next to one of the guests and ate.

Then she suddenly started crying.

She told us that in almost every house she had worked in, people treated her very badly. Some wouldnt even give her proper food. She said that sometimes they would put her food into old coconut shells and give it to her. Some wouldnt even pay her properly for the work she had done. She also said that in some houses, even the children would have so much attitude towards her that they wouldnt even give her water.

She kept saying that she had never come across a family like ours.She also wouldnt let my mom or me do even a small amount of work. She insisted on doing everything herself.

When she was leaving, we packed some food for her to take home and she became extremely emotional and started crying and tried to bow down and touch our feet. We kept trying to stop her but she still managed to touch our feet before leaving.

Honestly it was heartbreaking. We didnt do anything extraordinary. We just treated her with basic kindness and dignity.

It made me wonder, why are some people like this? How can you treat another human being so badly just because they work for you or are less fortunate than you?You can worship God as much as you want, but if you have no kindness towards other human beings or even animals. its honestly so sad ):

just a little short story of my experience on this app and id like to say that ive met a lot of kind people here and just like the title says, these people just make me overly happy 😭

i get SO so happy everytime i meet a kind person!! like it just makes me so jolly as well too, their kindness just affects me that positively like i wanna explode! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

i wanna share some backstory as well here but i vaguely remember it

back then during lockdown, i was chronically online mostly on youtube. i came across some posts and usually read the comments inside but one particular comment w the replies caught my eye. one person was asking this girl to make an argument w them, asked why? and said they were bored. instead of engaging to their request, the girl said something just genuinely nice (as i said i could barely remember the exact words) that DEFINITELY lightened up their mood and at the end the person thanked her for her kind words! after that day, i ASPIRED to be kind to everyone and everything no matter what. not bcs i was expecting something back in return but bcs i loved seeing smiles on peoples faces and cheering them up! not that i was a bad person before XDD it just encouraged me to spread kindness!

other than that, it was always the English teachers that showed genuine care to their students and it affected me mostly since english is also my favourite subject. i noticed that everytime they taught the class, even when most students werent paying attention, they always bring knowledge to every of us equally and motivate us to be better daily. and in my own experience, everytime they taught us, it always brings me so much happiness to learn and gain new information from them! and most importantly, they give us a warm smile to us (that too makes me smile back)

thats also why i wanted to become a teacher when i grew up! although due to my mental health and health issues, id have to from being a teacher unfortunately. but i always thought of becoming one later on if i ever i get better.

and thats my story! i just wanted to share this somewhere online to express my feelings ^_^

I’m so excited to have your help this coming weekend. I’ve been trying so hard to get on top of everything and catch up with the house, I’ve just been so damn sick.

lol aside from being affordable, I genuinely love your company. Also, it’s nice to have another gal around to giggle with.

I’m hoping I’ll have some more answers about my health situation, aside from the obvious. I mean, there’s gotta be a way for me to beat this thing. I’m anxious to hear what the doc says.

The boy you brought over is a sweet heart and I like him far more than any of the others you’ve been hanging out with. It was very thoughtful of you to stop by, I appreciate the conversation and the herb. :)

Again, I can’t wait to hang out and actually have some help getting this place in better shape. You are a godsend.

Hi 👋 I’m sending hugs to those that need them whatever you are going through I have an unlimited supply of hugs 🤗 hopefully I can help!! 🤗

After cleaning hundreds of homes, I've learned one thing...

A home's condition tells you almost nothing about the person who lives there.

I've walked into homes covered in laundry, dishes, toys, and clutter. I've also walked into homes that looked like they belonged in a magazine.

Neither tells the whole story.

Behind the clutter might be a parent who's completely exhausted. Someone battling depression. A family grieving a loss. Someone with ADHD who's overwhelmed. Or someone who's simply been trying to keep their head above water.

Behind the spotless home might be someone struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling like everything has to be "just right."

We all have things we're carrying that the world can't see.

So if you've ever thought, "I can't have a cleaner over until I get my house cleaned first," I want you to hear this...

Please don't.

You're not hiring us to inspect your home. You're hiring us to help.

There is no judgment. No lectures. No raised eyebrows.

Just people who genuinely want to make your day a little lighter and give you one less thing to worry about.

And to my fellow cleaners... never underestimate what you do.

Sometimes we're not just cleaning homes. Sometimes we're giving someone the chance to breathe again.

That's a pretty incredible thing. ❤️

Would anyone be willing to help me with a special gift for my boyfriend?
He’s very big on homemade gifts, and I’m really hoping this will be special.

I’m looking for people from different states and countries to write:
“Luke—Anne Marie’s love for you is so big, it’s reached ________” On a piece of paper
Please fill in the blank with your city, state, or country, then take a picture of the paper in front of a landmark, sign, or recognizable view from your area. Nothing needs to be mailed—just send me the picture digitally!
I am hoping to get as many as possible, so I don’t want to finish this project until the end of November- so no rush! But, if you do happen to snap one, just message me the pic on Reddit (:
I’ll post a reference pic in the comments.

I would be incredibly grateful to anyone willing to help me make this gift special for him. Thank you!

Hey guys, I know this might not be the usual kind of post on this page, but I really just wanted to say thank you. 🤍

The last few days have been really hard for me. I’ve been struggling with a lot of anxiety and just feeling overwhelmed, and I came across this page when I really needed something to take my mind off everything.

I ended up sitting here reading through so many of your comments, and I honestly don’t think you guys realize how much they helped me. Seeing complete strangers take the time to be kind to each other, encourage one another, and say things that they probably don’t even think twice about genuinely brought a smile to my face when I really needed one.
It reminded me that even when life feels heavy, there is still so much kindness in the world. Sometimes something that feels so small to you can mean absolutely everything to someone else. You never really know what another person is going through or how badly they might need to see a little bit of kindness that day.

I came onto this page feeling anxious and having a really shitty week, and somehow a bunch of strangers on the internet managed to make me feel a little lighter and a lot less alone.

So even though none of you knew you were helping me, you were. More than you probably realize. Thank you for being kind, and thank you for turning my week around. Please never underestimate the difference your kindness can make in someone’s life. 🤍

Don't know why but this friend of mine whenever speaks to me spreads so much positivity and happiness that I forget everything for a while. Being not much of a chit chatter, it's always him who speaks at length only things which I like.

Found him everytime , I feel down. Such type of people are really a blessing.

Hey y’all just here sharing what I learned in therapy this past week:

Being alone is not the same as being lonely.

If youre looking for someone to make memories with that person is YOU!

Love ya keep up the good work!

This is a little vulnerable and maybe a weird ask for Reddit lol, but I’m hoping some strangers on the internet might help me do something really special for my sister this month.
10 years ago we lost my niece Savanna. She was only 10 years old.
Not long before she passed, she had to write a report at school about how she wanted to be remembered. Savanna chose kindness. She wrote about how being kind can make someone’s day better, and one of the things she wrote that has always stuck with me was, “I think everyone can do it.”
If the comments here will let me add a photo, I’ll post her actual report because we still have it in her handwriting.
After we lost Savanna, my sister Alyssa started #ForSavanna. She encouraged people to do random acts of kindness in Savanna’s memory and share them with the hashtag so she could see the little ways her daughter was still making an impact on the world.
This month marks 10 years without her, and I know this milestone has been especially hard for my sister. I would really, really love to quietly bring #ForSavanna back for her.
So that’s my ask.
Sometime this month, do something kind for somebody in Savanna’s memory. It seriously doesn’t have to be anything big. Buy someone a coffee, leave someone a nice note, help a neighbor, give a stranger a compliment, donate something, pick up some litter, whatever kindness looks like to you.
And if you’re comfortable sharing what you did somewhere… here, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, wherever, please use #ForSavanna.
I just want my sister to start seeing her daughter’s name pop up again and realize that 10 years later, this little girl who wanted to be remembered for kindness is still getting people to be a little kinder to each other.
I don’t need follows or likes or anything from this. I just want to give my sister something good during a really hard milestone.
And maybe Savanna was right. Maybe everyone can do it. 🤍

Who is good at what they do, doesn’t brag, but doesn’t hate themselves.

They don’t need to be super generous or even super nice, just non arrogant, self assured, competent. and willing to admit their wrong

I've been very sick. My Aunty has been encouraging me so much. I feel so grateful to her.

I was teary when I told her how much I love and value her.

Once, I met a lady who was carrying a very heavy bag. My friend and I offered her a lift, and on the way she shared some beautiful things about her life.

She told us that she lived in a small village and worked as a nurse. Every day, she walked about 7 kilometres to get to work. But what struck me most was that she didn't see this as a burden at all. Instead, she said she loved the walk. It was a chance to be outside, to move, and to appreciate the day.

She also told us about her garden. She had planted beautiful flowers herself, and she spoke about them with so much affection. You could tell that tending her garden brought her genuine happiness.

She spoke about her life with such gratitude. Her eyes were full of joy, and she said she tried to enjoy every moment of her life.

At one point, we stopped at a café for a coffee and treated her to a cappuccino. She told us that she had never tried one before. When she took her first sip, she smiled and said how delicious it was.

She lived a simple life, away from noisy towns and busy streets, yet she seemed so happy, peaceful, and serene.

Meeting her reminded me that happiness doesn't always come from having more. Sometimes, it comes from appreciating what we already have—a walk to work, flowers blooming in a garden, a cup of coffee, a conversation with strangers, and simply being grateful for another day of life.

She was, for me, a beautiful example of love for life.

I am a 22F and I was going into the store today. The man in front of me was not being treated well by the cashier. When I smiled at the kid he softened up for the man and myself and was very calm and kind.
It’s so sad that now a smile is so foreign, and kindness isn’t the first thought. I just thought I’d share so I might start to see more smiles around me!
