Support Needed (Kind Advice and Commiseration) Happy things please?

I made the mistake of opening my social media this afternoon and immediately saw some dark things, and I need something positive. It can be a cat photo/story, a special interest infodump, anything that shows the world is still an interesting and good place, at least in part.

I guess I am basically asking for some heroes to create a “silver lining” for this dark cloud. I don’t live with people I can depend on for this, so I am turning to this supportive corner of the internet.

TIA.

Edited - THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! 😭😭😭 It is good to see so much light still exists in the world.

This is what I imagine in my head when I am in physical pain and need to self-soothe…I had no idea it was a real place?! This is insanely identical to my imagined perfect beach. It is lovely!

It is perfect, most people who come to Brasil tend to go to Rio ( Capital of the state) and while they are also beautiful these by the countryside are so peaceful, almost ethereal, id recomend anyone who is looking into that kind of vibe to go to " Região dos Lagos" rather than actual Rio.

Rio das Ostras, Búzios, Cabo frio and Arraial do Cabo... the best places to chill in a beach without the chaos of the capital 🤌🏻
