A playful illustration with a large red strawberry at the centre on a beige background with red dots. Inside the strawberry the text reads “What we give doesn’t always return, but what we give is always what we are.” Pink butterflies with dotted flight paths, sparkles, and partial strawberries surround the image. The style is colourful, cheerful, and whimsical. Picture by Joyfulsmolthings.

“Give what you have. To someone it may be better than you dare to think.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Generosity appears in many forms.

What we give doesn’t always return, and that’s alright.

Giving will often say more about who we are than what we receive.

A touching tweet from @Mr_Husky1 narrates a story about a stepfather named Greg, revealing his silent love through diary entries found after his passing. Tweet reads, "My stepdad, Greg, never said 'I love you.' He was a hard man. Worked construction. Came home, ate, slept. He paid for my college. He paid for my car. But he never hugged me. I always thought he resented me. I wasn't his real son. Greg died of a heart attack last week. I was cleaning out his truck. In the glove box, I found a worn-out notebook. It was a diary. Entry 1: Met a woman with a boy today. The boy looks sad. I want to make him smile. Entry 50: The boy needs braces. Picking up extra shifts. Entry 200: He graduated today. I stayed in the back so I wouldn't embarrass him with my dirty work clothes. I've never been prouder. Entry 500: I wish I knew how to talk to him. I just hope he knows I'd die for him. I sat in the driver's seat of his dusty truck and cried until I couldn't breathe. He didn't say it. He did it. Every single day. Love isn't always words. Sometimes, it's calloused hands and a tired back. -Anonymous"

Email screenshot titled "Thank You" from Mark to Misha, expressing gratitude for Misha's book. Mark talks about learning about himself and sharing an emotional experience of discussing adoption with his stepson. Text reads, "Hi Misha, I've never emailed a stranger like this before. My name is Mark and I read your book. To be totally honest with you I read it because my wife absolutely adores the crap out of you and I was trying to earn some darling points with her. But boy if I didn't learn a lot about myself while reading it. Your book got me thinking about how I show up for my own life and my family's lives. My wife has a 9 year old boy from her first marriage. His dad died from a nasty cancer when he was just a baby. I have been in his life for quite some time now. I realized I've been holding something back from my family that my heart has wanted for a long time because I was trying to be respectful. But I got brave and I had a conversation with my wife about me formally adopting him. We sat down and asked him how he felt about it over pizza on Friday night and he said I've always wanted to call you dad. I've never experienced a moment like that in my life. Your stories and the way you shared them gave me that confidence to talk about my feelings. I see why my wife watches all of your videos and you can consider me a bonafide bestie. Thanks to you a little boy finally gets to call someone dad. Thank you for that. -Mark"

Text graphic with a motivational message over a slice of pie, encourages perspective. Text reads, "Please keep in mind that whatever you're going through, this challenging time in your life is merely in your life. It is Not your whole life. So be sure to keep this slice of your life in perspective and don't let it overwhelm you. Remember nothing is everything. The part is not greater than the whole. [by Karen Salmansohn notsalmon.com]"

Illustration of a small fluffy black cat lying flat on a soft pink and purple ground under a purple sky. The cat has very large round eyes and a tiny white nose dot, looking calmly toward the viewer. Above the cat, the text reads: “It’s okay to step away and give yourself a little space to breathe.” 🐈‍⬛

Four-panel comic on a dark textured background featuring a fluffy black cat with very large round eyes looking directly at the viewer. In the first panel the text reads “You there,”. In the second panel it says “Yes, you.” In the third panel it says “Just know…”. In the final panel the cat’s eyes contain heart shapes and the text reads “I’m cheering for you.” The signature “purr.in.ink” appears in the corner.

Illustrated scene: Two figures kneel, facing each other on a reflective water surface. One holds glowing light, bridging them. Text above speaks about self-forgiveness and love. It reads, "Forgive yourself for the things you did just to be loved. For the times you stayed too long. For the times you said yes when you meant no. For over giving, over explaining, and over trying. You were choosing connection over pride, softness over ego, love over fear. And sometimes, in trying to be loved, you forget to love yourself. Forgive that version of you. She did not know another way. But now you do."

Four-panel comic with two black cats sitting on grass under a pink sky. One cat says, “I thought life was supposed to make me happy.” The other replies, “Sometimes it just makes you stronger instead.” The first cat complains, “I don’t like this part.” The other answers, “Nobody likes it.” In the last panel it adds, “That’s why we will go through it together, okay?”

We’ll go through it together 🐈‍⬛🤍

eek!

Text on a white background says: "It took me a long time to realise this, but no matter how hard you try, you can't control what people think of you. Some will misunderstand you, some will judge you, some will decide who you are before they even know you. And honestly? You could twist yourself in knots trying to be liked and they still might not see you clearly. So you might as well just show up as yourself, the real you. The right people will get it. The rest won't matter as much as you think. [by mentalhmovement]" Inspirational tone.

A colourful illustrated image on a deep navy blue background with playful hand drawn lettering reading “Signs that you are HUMAN.” Surrounding the text are bright cartoon space themed characters including a pink ringed planet, a purple comet shaped character, a smiling yellow star with a pink trail, a green crescent moon with a small star beside it, a fluffy white cloud with a rainbow, and a pink planet shaped like a hand. Each sits next to phrases such as “you say the wrong things,” “you change your mind,” “you are unproductive and messy,” “you have ups and downs,” “you feel unsure at times,” and “you make mistakes.” The colours are vibrant pink, yellow, teal, purple, and white, giving the illustration a warm, playful feeling that celebrates the everyday imperfections of being human. Picture by Nikki Miles.

“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.” Brené Brown

We say the wrong things. We change our mind. We have ups and downs.

All signs that we’re wonderfully human. 🧡

A small moment of gentleness in the middle of everything. 🐈‍⬛🤍 (please open the thread)

Stylized text reads: "shoutout to anyone who is currently using a great percentage of their energy on keeping a tiny flame of hope alight every single day while a shitstorm of uncertainty and heaviness swirls around them..." Below, a cute ghost holds a small flame amid dark scribbles.

A small black kitten with big shiny eyes sits with its paws together as if wishing or praying. Above it, the text says: “May kindness win in the end.” The background is a soft blue gradient.

White text on a dark blue background conveys reassurance to someone feeling lost. Encouraging words focus on acceptance, gradual progress, and hope. Text reads, "to the person who is lost, confused, and scared - you're not failing at life. you're standing in a chapter where nothing feels certain yet. it's okay if you don't know what you're doing. it's okay if you're tired of pretending you do. you don't need a perfect plan to move forward, just a small willingness to keep going. you will find your way, not all at once, but step by step as things slowly begin to make sense again."

Text on a white background: "'I'm good' is the most common lie we tell. And it's not because we're dishonest, but because it's easier than explaining the weight we're carrying. Be gentle. Nearly everyone is fighting something. [by] Vex King." The tone is empathetic and reflective.
