Restoring Our Faith In Humanity

Since I've been scratching my head at so many different posts lately, i figure it's time to remind ourselves of the good in this world :)

To start: the past week or two, every single time I've been a crowded subway train there's been someone who has offered me their seat. So often I complain about how terrible the commute is, it's not fair that I don't bring some of these better days to light. Most days I won't take the seat since Im only on the subway for one stop but it truly makes my day to know there are thoughtful and kind people out there.

If you guys are ever desperate, this tumblr is great for feeling like the world isn't as bad as people can sometimes lead us to believe:

    It's amazing how many strangers are willing to help out! Melts my heart to hear when people do good things for no gain of their own. Love these kinds of stories (especially being an extra sappy preggie lady haha)

    ETA: Just saw this on Huffington post.. Love seeing mother's bodies in a positive light for once

    This thread is a great idea!

    I've also appreciated how many strangers offer to help with things! I'm always being offered help to put things in my car, people are holding open doors, etc.

    And how people tend to smile and light up when they ask you about your baby. It's pretty cute :)

    I also appreciate that most shopping centres or department stores have 'expecting mothers and parents with newborns' parking stalls. <3 Amen to those!

    YES!! Any stores that go out of their way to help out families that shop there are top notch in my book!
  • I love those pictures of women and their natural bodies, either with or without their children. I've always thought the female form was beautiful, in all its shapes and sizes. Those photos are lovely.

    I also registered for one that says 'I don't grow up I level up'. I planned on buying these for us even if no one got them from the registry.
