Nothing can bring a smile to your face quite like fond memories. Whether it’s time you and your best friend stayed up all night having a movie marathon or when you got drenched in the rain on the way home from school with your siblings, these nostalgic moments are worth cherishing forever. But what if those memories weren’t even yours? While reminiscing about our own experiences is always enjoyable, hearing about someone else’s good times can be just as uplifting—especially since they provide novel perspectives and insights into how others view happiness.
1. Staying in Love
One user posted, “Went to visit my mother-in-law at her memory care facility. A very posh older woman came and sat with us while we chatted and began to play with my hair. (It’s long and was down.)
“She admired both of us for a few moments and then told me that we had reminded her of her and her husband long ago. She said they traveled the world together, were madly in love, and never got bored. She smiled at me, touched my hair again, and said, ‘I used to glow like sunshine from all the happiness he brought me. You look so young! You glow, too!’ She looked at my husband and said, “You make her feel like the most important woman in the world. Don’t ever dim her glow!” And then she patted me on the lap and left.
“We’ve been together for over 25 years. It never gets old hearing how in love we both still look. And it also feels good to know it reminded her of a love that carried her through most of her life.”Â
2. The Toy Train
Another Redditor shared, “We went to the beach today with my son; he had just bought a toy train 30 minutes prior. We were on the pier, and my son dropped his toy, which ended up falling into the ocean. We considered it gone as we were at least 200 feet from shore and began walking for another 15 mins down the pier. On our way back to the exit, the train was floating in the water. I kid you not.
“We followed it for 30 mins as it headed toward shore. About 100 feet away from the shore, it ended up going under the pier, and we didn’t see it and considered it gone then. Another 30 mins pass, and we joke around, saying let’s go underneath the pier and wait to see if we see it. We get there, and nothing. We waited about 15 mins scoping out, and we were about to leave when I saw the damn train riding a wave close to shore.
“We waited about 5 minutes, and it came close enough, and my boyfriend ended up being able to get it. I had not smiled and laughed so hard in such a long time when we got the train back, and my kiddo was very happy to get it back.”Â
3. Children Belly-Laughing
“My kids were watching the paw patrol movie this morning. There’s a scene where the pups are dancing on the bus. They both let out massive belly laughs. That made me smile,” a user shared.
Another user replied, “Buddy, you made me smile! Wow, that was wholesome.”
4. Meaningful Conversation
One Redditor posted, “I was hanging out on a call with my partner, and we were just doing our own things, exchanging conversation at odd times. He was setting up a crappy, forgotten game from his favorite franchise onto his computer and was streaming it. It was cursed but hilarious, and we were both having a blast.
“He started talking about a really random but profound fact about something in the franchise but got hesitant and just called himself a nerd and stopped. I knew first hand this was a sign someone had told him to stop talking about his interests before. So I told him, ‘That’s okay. We’re all passionate about things.’ And I could tell from his responses after that he was smiling, which made me smile.”
5. Small Puppy
“Sweet baby dog putting her cold, wet pink nose on my leg while she was passing by. It was very intentional, lol,” one Redditor stated.Â
6. Winning a Baseball Game
One user cheerfully shared, “Watching my kid win his baseball game!”
7. Favorite Pets
One user, a Redditor, added, “My hamster, Possum, is growing up. Still obviously a baby but fast-growing out and has a fluffy coat, and they’re so cute, so I was smiling and baby talking to them last night.”
8. When Your Baby is Happy
“Seeing my 5-month-old son giggle and smile when I hold him,” shared one user.Â
9. Meeting up With Friends
One user commented, “Meeting up with an old mate whom I hadn’t been in contact with since late last year.”
10. Holiday Vacation
A user also posted, “Just came home from holiday (traveled to Norway visiting Oslo and a bunch of Fjords, absolutely stunning, can recommend!) and just the feeling of having made those new memories and being comfortable at home again was a nice feeling.”
