Some believe that it is it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.
My son is 4 and looooves my mom. She’s a big part of his life. He’ll be devastated when she dies one day. One of the hardest parts of parenting is knowing you can’t protect them from all pain. Even love contains pain.
When our grandmother died, my brother sobbed for days. Our family for a time felt incomplete. Grandparent-grandchild friendships are a relationship like no other. So grateful for it many years laters.
Little things like this, even commissioned, make the world a little place. If we could all give each other just a little bit of support to get through the rough patches, the world we be a smoother place.
I've been wanting to make a pillow out of my grandad's Hawaiian shirt he bought while on honeymoon with my Nana so I can give it to her for her 88th birthday, but my sewing skills are *very* subpar and I don't even know where to begin..
Humans as a whole are really awesome creatures. They are kind and giving and ever so slightly mad. Problem is a few jackasses ruin it for the rest of us and some turn to shitty ways to get by or deal with the asshats that hoard all the basics of life. Stay kind you crazy freaks. ❤️

Aw fuck. My stupid eyes just get really dry and then they tear up to moisturize and it only looks like crying but I’m not.

Sorry, best I can do is school shootings and hate crimes every day.

At 50yo, I’ve learned that’s the only reason we’re here: to help each other. ❤️

The artist is JennieLeigh Holland and her Instagram is @spunkyonion. Unfortunately she no longer makes dolls do to her increasing health issues.

I only consider myself a borderline misanthrope due to posts like OP! So I cannot fully hate our species because of it!

Look for the helpers. They are always there. They just don't make headlines.

There's lots of nice people about. You just have to aim your focus on them rather than the arseholes and the world will seem better.
