Happy Little Images That Made the Whole Internet Smile | 22 Words

We're used to an internet full of jerks, creeps, monsters, and trolls — the type of people who use the internet as a place to hide their identity and be as vicious and cruel to other people as they can be. Most of these people are working out their own issues anonymously online, but that doesn't make it feel any better if you're the one being accosted in a comments section.

That's why it feels like a giant weight being lifted off our shoulders when someone on the internet decides to be nice for a change. Sometimes, we get to log on and find a post or a blog that brings a smile to our face! And on those days, we have to celebrate.

That's why we're collecting some happy little images from Reddit's /r/MadeMeSmile, a subreddit for the random acts of kindness or sweetness that can make anyone smile. Consider bookmarking it for those days when the trolls get you down.

Truly, an inspiration.
