Liliana Segura's moving Twitter thread shines light on the struggles experienced by folks that try to set up prison visits to see loved ones. It's a bit of a nightmare, to say the least. 

This guy thought he'd be able to run around and have a good time with whoever he fancied, and then just return home eventually to swoop up his ex girlfriend. My dude, that is not how the world works. People move on. Self respect is a thing. This guy got his reality check in the end, and it clearly stung. But hey, it's better to learn late than never at all. If he really valued her happiness above all else, he'd leave her be, and appreciate the fact that she was able to move on, and find someone that brought her happiness. 

Sheila O'Malley's story about her friends taking a risk and intervening when she was too overwhelmed by grief to ask for the help she needed is a beautiful thing. Sometimes being a true and loving friend is stepping up for that person in your life who can't see what kind of hole they're in, and needs someone who cares enough to notice what's going, to step in and help get them out of it. This story's got all the feels. 

Careful, this post hits hard in the feelsplex. We get to hear some thoughts about life from a 24-year-old who was diagnosed with cancer, and too late for any good chance at survival. A definite big takeaway is don't sweat the small stuff. Make decisions from a place of courage, love, and positivity, and shape a beautiful life from there. 

This quick Tumblr thread provides some potentially helpful advice on how to go about counteracting the toxic mess that can be a customer service interaction with a Karen or Ken. Tears, apparently are super effective. Takes a real mean, bitter, and senseless soul to continue badgering someone with insults and entitlement, while that person is crying. 

Andy Richter decided to call out a Twitter troll after their insensitive remark regarding depression. He handles the glaring display of ignorance in glorious fashion. Saying "cheer up" to someone living with depression is on par with telling a person who has asthma to "just breathe." 

Brace yourself, this guy's story about discovering his dad's old notebook after he'd passed away is an emotional rollercoaster. Real or not, it's a beautiful and touching tale. 

So, the story on this one goes that an (awesome) girlfriend planned a big "Nailed It" themed, surprised birthday party for her boyfriend. Apparently, upon receiving this kind and loving gesture, the dude proceeded to break down and dissolve into a puddle of tears, because he wanted other people around to remember him. Awesome girlfriend asked the folks of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong, and I mean, based off what we know, how could she be? 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to describe the various things that they do when they're stressed out or annoyed. Whether it's stepping outside to grab some fresh air right before you shout a storm of curse words into the sky, or maybe something more chill, like diving into your favorite video game; we all have our preferred coping mechanism. 

This guy found himself in the middle of an emotional rollercoaster of a date. It sounds like the date was emotionally reactive beyond comprehension, and generally resigned to being discontent with whatever the current situation was. The dude clearly had the moment he recognized that things had gone south, and decided to open up to the concierge, who was around and ready to listen. 

People are sharing their breakup stories on Twitter. The resulting tweets are filled to the brim with heartbreak, anger, confusion, and general unrest. Some of these people have got to be feeling like they're better off. 

This quick and emotional story has left us convinced that there are ninjas in here cutting onions. Tears are potentially falling, man. That being said, it sounds like this kid made quite the beautiful discovery upon his dad's passing. A beautiful tale. 

People are out there actually spreading some positive energy. These wholesome actions taken by perfect strangers made a profoundly positive impact upon their recipients. We're all sharing this universe together. Sometimes a selfless action taken to cheer someone else up means more than you could ever know. 

This teacher's wholesome moment with a rather moody student ended up coming full circle in the best way. The universe speaks in mysterious ways. It sounds like the teacher left a profoundly positive impact on the student who was going through a tough time. You never know how far an act of kindness can carry someone down the wild road of life. 

There are no limits to what warrants a hysterical breakdown from a toddler. Rationality in the mind of a toddler is a terribly fleeting thing. We can't verify whether these captions are accurate depictions of what brought on the waterworks, but we'd bet they're not too far off the mark. 

Never underestimate the heights of pettiness that can be achieved between two people going through a divorce. These AskReddit replies in a thread about the stupidest reasons people wanted to divorce, might convince you to never want to get married.
