The world is on fire. I don't have to tell you that. If you have opened your phone, computer, a newspaper or flipped on the television in the last three years, you know that things are looking grim. And not just because it's almost Halloween.
This is why it is more important than ever to spread happiness, joy, and love. Contrary to popular belief, these things have not disappeared completely. You can create them with your own heart, depending on your treatment of other people. They are contagious in the best way possible, as heartwarming stories spread across the Internet day after day.
We are doing our small part over here at 22 Words, by sharing stories of people who spread joy and love in hopes that these examples will inspire you to do the same. We could all use more brightness in our lives, just like the people in this article.
Get ready for your heart to burst.
These pictures and stories are so heartwarming and precious that you won't be able to take it. You might have to lie down because of how cute these pictures are.Carried

Tree That Owns Itself
I love this story so much. I particularly love that everyone in this town went along with this guy who signed the rights to the tree over to itself. They're like "Welp, the tree owns itself!"Late note
