For the longest time, I was under the impression the definition of "benign" was that of boring or dull. I never thought to look up the word until the first couple of post readings and was thrown for a little bit of a loop when I realized for years, decades even, I was led to believe a word meaning "kindly or gentle" was a less... not impressive, but I suppose "hopeful" word. I suppose I always heard it through it's medical use of no/less harming side effects or in the context of an unimpressed villain in media. I've learned both the true meaning of a word through context, and a subreddit that makes me happy it exists.
My kitten brings me a crinkleball whenever he thinks I've sat too long, and haven't been as excited as normal. So I've started having a small crinkleball in my pocket for him to play with when I accept the one he brings me. It makes me happy with life in a way I never would have expected.
One of my favorite moments recently was during a blackout. I realized that because of the blackout, there would be significantly less light pollution and went out to go stargazing. I was able to identify Taurus and bettlejuice for the first time. I also spotted the Big Dipper! I sat on the grass of our front lawn, listening to a sleeping world and occasionally playing a tune on my harmonica, enjoying the cold and soaking it in.
This is the anime I.CINNAMOROLL subreddityfied. Seriously, the show is about the titular dog finding joy in the little things, so I wouldn't be surprised if he would be posting in there frequently.
Some days can feel long and the schedule is often whack but this is also why I enjoy some days at work! Kind little exchanges of advice, recipes, and humor with customers is wonderful.!
Im currently in the middle of a international move with my family, we've left the US already, but we're spending a month or 2 in india (our home country) with my grandparents before heading to out final destination. We've been here for 3 weeks now and I've gotten pretth sick of the food, to the point where i just stopped eating 😅 I mentioned this to my mom yesterday, and she immediately took me out to buy ingredients for my favorite pizza and pasta and other things we can make at home. Today, she made food that was different from what we had been having, but was still indian so my grandparents would still eat it. It was the first full meal i had in 3 days. I love my mom ❤
sometimes, those small things that you or others do and you don't know if that means anything is important. The train story of people waving to a passing speeding train is a good example. You wave, not knowing if someone saw you and you get no response. Yet that guy's story makes clear that it did make someone's day. When getting off the bus, my mouth isn't doing anything, so why not say 'thank you' to the bus driver to make their "unseen" job better? I also wave at train drivers if I manage to get in front of the train I just got out of (not literally in front, think 30 degree angle)
a couple years ago, it started raining one night and my older sister got really excited and convinced our younger sibling and I to dance in it with her. she said she always wanted to dance in the rain but never really got the chance to. luckily for her, our sibling and I also always wanted to do that. she played a lot of songs but the first one she put on was Runaway by AURORA. it was fun, dancing in the rain together, breathing in the fresh air and that rain smell, getting soaked and dancing (rather poorly) together under the grayed skies. it's one of my favorite memories, I hope we get to do it again some day soon.
I wasnt paying attention so right until the end I thought this was all from one user named BenignExistence and not a subreddit with that name. Definitely made the experience better.
I work retail, yeah a lot of customers are rough but i have a couple regulars and plenty of random people that i genuinely enjoy just being a pleasant npc in their life. They tell me about their cat, maybe just want a chat, or are just happy to be dealing with an actual person who can be friendly and helpful. It's nice when you can enjoy the little things it helps the big things seem less big
Sometimes, I start wondering what I've done with my life, a'd that's the answer. I've created connections with other people. I've enjoyed the good things in life (I have a huge bed just for me.). That's more meaningful than any titles or whatever
About a week ago I was sitting in a theater a couple minutes before the show was supposed to start. This girl in front of me is talking with my friend next to me when all of a sudden she turns to me and says "I love your hair!" before turning back to face the stage. I had gotten it cut just the other day and, while it was only a couple inches, I feel really good with it at this length. I had gotten a couple compliments from friends, but nothing has or will ever compare to the act of a total stranger liking something about me enough to say something about it, for no reason other than to be kind. That will stick with me for a while, thank you.
I love my mom, sometimes I'll mention stuff I want but like, in the future, and a few day later she'll be telling about all the stuff she was looking at in amazon. like one time I told her I want to have tea set for my future home when I eventually move out, and like that weekend she was showing me a bunch of tea sets off of amazon and trying to figure out which one I liked the most 😭
My depressed ass clicked this video because of the title expecting more of a downer type thing lmao. One day I hope to have less to deal with that I can stop and appreciate these type of things, feel like I'm mostly too busy trying to distract myself or failing to have fun somehow. Glad others have these type of things going on though at least.
I had basically the same experience at social security when I changed my name last year. It was fast, and the clerk there was happy to help. Didn't suggest the cake though. I made mozzarella sticks to celebrate. It was really nice. I'm sorry that won't be anyone else's experience for a while... The clerks there want to help for the most part, but sadly that policy no longer exists.
Something about this bothers me, the image that appears in my mind is that shot from Blue Velvet where it goes from this perfect manicured lawn to under the surface with all these bugs and worms, that is my emotional reaction to this lol

Welcome to the opposite of malice 💖

I'll have to look that one up! Sounds like an adorable premise! ^_^
There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!
This subreddit is the equivalent of a small suburban community and I love it :D
having reminders of good humans in day-to-day scenerios is definitely necessary.
thank you for this post, my brain has deemed it needed

Sounds like you lucked out in the mom department. ^,^

sometimes, you just need to be reminded of the little things that make humans so special

From what I have seen from this video, r/BegnignExistence is the average Tumbler user's dream.
Sometimes, I start wondering what I've done with my life, a'd that's the answer. I've created connections with other people. I've enjoyed the good things in life (I have a huge bed just for me.).

When you share a happy story that is no longer possible, that becomes sad. (The thumbnail)
I need a one hour version of this to listen and fall asleep to.
Yes please!
what happens when humans are given actual community rather than working at a job with no fulfillment in their life
sometimes getting a sappy dose of positivity is really refreshing, man
This has been so calming and uplifting! My family and i are going through some rough times right now and i really needed this! Thank you❤

Such pure and amazing subreddit ☺️
This was very very sweet. Good vibes are always appreciated
Thank you for making this video! 🥹

Oooh, I'm immediately joining that subreddit.
This is so beautiful...
Something about this bothers me, the image that appears in my mind is that shot from Blue Velvet where it goes from this perfect manicured lawn to under the surface with all these bugs and worms, that is my emotional reaction to this lol

Ohhhh! This is so lovely!!!
Happies.
TH-cam translates this to "snacks", and honestly?
Yeah, that checks out!
I watched Flow today. I recommend you do too
I've heard good things about it, definitely keeping it in mind
I cannot tell if this is more like Stardew valley or the Shire.
Lewis would never let you be in peace, so I would say the Shire
it’s real life! doesn’t have to be related to fiction😊
For a while I thought you were on Reddit yourself lol.
