Sure, the world has its fair share of woes and not-so-nice people.
BUT, there are still lots and lots of good people who inspire us with kindness, laughter, and a whole bunch of other fuzzy stuff.
1. Like this 10-year-old boy who found a woman's wallet and mailed it back to her with a handwritten note.
2. These super friends who promised to stay after school and support their friend in his weight loss.
3. This 15-year-old hero who saved three girls from gunfire.
4. This dad who literally broke down into tears (and high-pitched squeals) when he found out his wife was pregnant with baby number two.
5. And this dad whose ponytail efforts were so laughable his little toddler couldn't stop giggling.
6. How about this young actor and his spot-on impression of the King of Pop?!
7. A certain legendary athlete who decided to shoot a few hoops with these neighborhood pals.
8. This photographer who captured a photo series of black men and gave them control over how they wanted to be portrayed.
9. Gotta shout out this former school teacher putting children's books in barbershops so that young boys can read more.
10. And this popular barber who joined the effort by replacing his shop's video games with books, even if it meant a small decline in business.
11. Turn up for this rapper who payed off his student debt, and then made a song to show the rest of us it's actually possible.
12. Big ups to this business mogul who supported social justice organizations with a cool $1.5 milli.
13. And this Oscar-winning actor who rescued a man from a burning truck.
14. Amen for the model inspiring us all to live our best lives...and to properly groom ourselves.
Just onnnnnne more look 👀.
15. This R&B legend who touched our souls with a mashup of the National Anthem and "Try A Little Tenderness."
16. A very wise — and once homeless — 15-year-old who spoke out about the conditions of his country and found a family after his message went viral.
17. This actor and director whose film about Nat Turner made Sundance history as the festival's highest-selling film ever. *coughs, $17.5 mill, coughs*
Soooo, can I hold a stack toward these student loans or nah?
