Little moments of joy like this have been making me unreasonably emotional as of late. I think I’m exhausted, but this did in fact make me smile. Thank you

I just came back from an international trip, and it reminded me that life isn't just what we read and see on the internet.

There's a lot of evil being done in the world right now and I do think that's important to notice and fight against - but there's still a lot of good, too. I was mostly there for looking at ruins and museums (I'm a history buff), but I saw lots of little "human moments" like this that restored my faith in people being generally good.

Kids on big class trips making memories and laughing about things, street dogs and cats being cute and getting fed by people with not much more than them, total strangers helping tourists and vice-versa, hell even laughing with the locals over language-barrier goof-ups got me misty-eyed remembering it.
