If there is one thing I’m glad to have learned as I get older, it’s that it isn’t worth dwelling on negativity. While bad stuff can sometimes teach us some valuable lessons, we can’t let it take over our lives and affect our future. While this is often easier said than done, it helps to try.

Wholesome memes are a great starting point when it comes to getting ourselves out of a pessimistic mindset. They remind us of everything nice and good, persisting despite whatever setbacks any of us may face. The fact that adversity exists only makes them more special, whether they are explaining a loving family relationship or simply showing you a cute animal. Wholesomeness comes in many different forms, and all of them add up to making us a little less cynical. That is something that is worth celebrating on a regular basis, as with this meme list.
