18 Pictures That Will Put a Wide Smile on Your Face
A study has shown that people tend to remember bad things better than they recollect good ones. That is because we want to use these memories as protection from making the same mistakes in the future. However, there are good things happening to us or those around us every single day. All it takes is to stop concentrating on the miseries and start appreciating the small victories.
Bright Side feels lucky to have found these pictures where people created or celebrated moments that can touch everyone.
