15+ Times the Universe Gave People a Reason to Smile

Luck is a fickle thing. Sometimes it’s so hard to run into good luck that it starts to seem that our life is just full of dark times. For example, when everything is falling out of our hands in the morning, when internet shopping becomes a complete disappointment, or when a window seat on a plane ends up having no window at all. But sometimes fortune gives us bonuses that we didn’t even expect, as if it’s trying to rehab itself for its previous absence.

We at Bright Side feel a bit jelly toward the characters of our compilation who didn’t expect these surprises from the universe that totally gave them a reason to smile.
