You’ve probably heard of Nicolas Cage. Considered a bad actor to some and a good actor to others, what’s really important is that he has earned a special place in the hearts of all of us. Not only for having starred in some classics of decades past but also because, even if you haven’t seen his movies, you’ve most likely seen him in a meme.

Sometimes we lack a pinch of joy and an optimistic outlook on life amid the whirl of everyday tasks. But there are people who, thanks to their sense of humor, irony, and sharp jokes, can turn any day of their life into a holiday or a comedy scene.

According to statistics, in 2021, the average person spent a considerable 155 minutes of their day browsing the Internet on their mobile phone. And one of the reasons going online is so appealing is that it offers us a much-needed opportunity for distraction. Seeing things that are so different than our own reality might be shocking at first. However, they can surely act as an exciting breath of fresh air.

Every day of our life is another reason to learn something new and expand our horizons, as there are so many secrets and surprises in our world. At the same time, access to the internet allows you to do it without leaving the comfort of your own home. You just have to be curious and attentive enough.

It’s not always easy to be mindful of the good things in life when you’re online. A lot can drag you down or leave you feeling overwhelmed. So, sometimes, you just need a moment to relax and appreciate some pure and wholesome content, and that time has come.

Today, you can learn anything with help from the Internet. You can find tips on how to make pancakes or how to go on a trip around the world. But the value of the Internet is not about the amount of information it holds, but more about the people that share it with each other.

Kindness is like a boomerang — the more you give now, the more you’ll receive in the future. And the heroes of this article know this for sure.

Let’s face it, many of us have found ourselves in pretty awkward situations. We know you remember that embarrassing feeling when all you want to do is to curl up somewhere and never face anyone again. And even though scientists’ claim that other people do not notice our silly mistakes as much as we think, it doesn’t bring any relief. So we’re sure that the best remedy in this case is to understand that you are not alone.

Every day we hear heartbreaking and shocking stories that leave us feeling sad and devastated. No wonder why some people think that kindness is just a relic of the past. However, there are still some good people in the world, and they make it a little bit brighter every day. One of these people is Violetta, and she sets an example for all of us.
