the feels

Someone on AskReddit asked for doctors and nurses to share their experiences with encountering couples that realized the kid was not the father's. Talk about a full-fledged nightmare situation. There's not really any coming back from that. The sobering moment of realization has got to be the living definition of soul-crushing. Can't even imagine. 

Brace yourself, there's a pack of onion-cutting ninjas lurking ahead. This story will take you on a brutal feels trip. 

This green text story really brings on the melancholy. Anonymous gets into the nitty and gritty details of what life is like while going about the grind of working in an office. Whether it's dealing with passive aggressive "warm regards" emails from co-workers, or just trying to login to your computer. The office life ain't easy. 

After this woman lost her father, her caring and loving friends helped her through a tough and terrible time. They took a risk, and it ended up meaning the world to her. We're not crying, you're crying! 

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! 

We're not crying, YOU'RE crying. This guy's grandmother fell in love with Dungeons & Dragons while she was battling cancer. The feels trip is truly brutal in this story; but at the same time, it's a beautiful tale of a strong woman finding peace in the bonding experience of playing a board game with new friends, and family. 

This Tumblr thread focuses on how big of an impact you can make upon someone else in the middle of a terrible financial struggle, if you but do some good recklessly. You never know how far $10 can go for a struggling parent, their kid, etc. 

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. 

Construction worker Jason Haney is out here restoring our faith in humanity. He acted on an idea to cheer up hospitalized children by creating an 8-foot-tall cutout of Where's Waldo, and hiding it on site everyday for the kids in the Memorial Children's Hospital in South Bend, Indiana. It's people like this that make us think there might be a little hope left in the world after all. 

Even though the days of disconnecting your home phone and taking 20 minutes to log onto the internet so you could download one single mislabelled Evanescence track are over, it still feels like those were the good old days. Well, at least when you get older you can drink. For more, here are nostalgic images to trigger your longing (or hatred) for the the old days.

Why'd he have to go and make us feel emotions! It hurts. 

Twitter user @guiltyart, started up the kind of thread that gets the waterworks going. Are you ready to cry your eyes out? Alrighty, then by all means take a deep dive into this emotional Twitter thread about all the movies that managed to break people inside. Sometimes a storyline or a scene in particular just hits you right in the damn feels, and there's nothing you can do about it.
