love

These wholesome pure feels pull on the heart strings. This guy's story starts in on when he lost his parents as a 10-year-old, to a nasty drunk driver. From there, he was taken in by his uncle, and grew up battling a terrible sadness. 

Fast forward to when he's 22-years-old, and still hasn't had a relationship with his girl, until his uncle takes him to a sandwich shop after he loses his job; and ends up meeting the love of his life in a chance encounter. His uncle plays quite the wingman, and even calls the girl on his behalf to get things in motion. This is one of those stories that you read nervously, with hope that nothing goes south, and amazingly...nothing does! 

In a recent trend, people have been sending random texts to their Number Neighbors, i.e. the stranger whose phone number is one digit higher or lower their their own. Mostly it's just people going "who is this don't talk to me" but other people are chill. Here's a guy who got waaaay deeper than you'd expect to get with a stranger. Unrelated, we're huge fans of that first typo right at the top.

This magical little tale will have you laughing hysterically by the end. 

If this adorable story of two neighbor cats falling in love across the street isn't the most wholesome thing of all time, then I don't know what is. Oh, and this is definitely a better love story than Twilight. No question about that. 

Gotta love weddings. Nothing says everlasting love like photoshopping yourself and your betrothed as centaurs. Y'know, for love. If not a half horse body, how about a genie? Maybe instead of photoshop, you'd like to throw some chickens in the air? We think these folks are onto something, and we'd like to see more people treat their weddings with more absurdity. 

Twitter user @aleeyaderige, shared a powerful thread on how to help a loved one who's dealing with depression. She touches on many of the painful ins and outs of living with depression, and her thread went viral because of how many grateful people connected with what she'd written. 

Communication is a very important part of every relationship, and a lack of it can lead to awkward and hilarious moments like this ex-girlfriend lease dispute. When two people aren't on the same page, one may end of throwing out the L word way too soon. Other times, the recipient might be unprepared to hear it and end up staggering on their words terribly. Anyway, relationships are often awkward and fraught with failure. Turns out there are a whole lot of ways to mess up an "I love you."

AskReddit users share some of their experiences with "lost love" and the resulting thread is a definite rollercoaster of feels. Love hurts, man. But with enough time you might get over the one love that didn't end up working out like you'd originally planned. 

We do some mindless stuff in the name of love, or even, an innocent crush. There's just something that short circuits in the brain when you find yourself helplessly infatuated with that person that caught your eye. Then, if you're really unlucky, you take it a step further and make the kind of move that comes back to haunt you in the middle of the night, years later. 

Brace yourself, the love-soaked gushiness is REAL in these stories of love. So much wholesome in this post, it might very well melt the iciest of hearts. That, or you are a-okay at moving forward on that forever alone lifestyle. I mean, hey whatever works for ya. 

First dates typically have some awkward moments, but these ones really take the cake and get it all over your clothes. So drink in these awkward moments and be glad for any social grace you already possess. Terrible dates like this happen all the time.

It seems weird, but apparently it's not very good to go around thinking everything sucks all the time. It's news to us too. Turns out there's people out there being supportive and successful out there, and it seems right to want a piece of the mental-health-pie. If you want more wholesome memes then check these out.

Waiters and waitresses have that outside-in perspective when it comes to you entering their domain, to take a chance at meeting someone for your first date. Those sporadic conversations you have with your date, consisting of information you'd already know if the other person was a consistent part of your life, are a giveaway. But at the same time, things aren't always as they appear. Maybe you're reading this as someone who's in a loving relationship, and realizing you might look like you're on a first date with your partner, every time you guys go out! 

You better hope you're not guilty of breaking any of these Mom Commandments. Some of these might hit painfully close to home. Especially that saliva-soaked tissue that may have been used to clean your disgusted face. 

This Twitter user chronicled some young love he stumbled upon in a restaurant on a random Sunday. The couple didn't realize it, but they even had the waitstaff rooting for them.  If you've had a date like this, you may get a blast from the past.

It's your special day. What could be nicer than having an ex blow up or a pirate walk in? Some people have a pretty bad problem with holding their peace.
