With all the negative news stories circling your social media, here are five happy news stories to brighten up your day and remind you that there is still some good left in this world.

1. Police officers rescue ducklings from a storm drain

After seeing a mother duck circling a sewer opening, two police officers ended up rescuing 12 ducklings and it was all caught on camera. You can check out the video here.

2. A wild stag and an elderly woman become best friends

Twice a day, this wild deer named Flippen climbs up to Mette Kvam, an 81-year-old woman's window in Norway while she pets him and gives him a snack. A bystander caught one of their adorable interactions on a video you can watch here.

3. These parents who gave their autistic son the best gift ever

These parents from Texas went viral when they surprised their autistic son with his very own mini-Blockbuster store after he was heart broken from his local Blockbuster being closed down.

4. A doctor has been feeding nearly 500 helpless elderly people every day for 10 years

Dr. Uday Modi started the Sharavan Tiffin Seva ten years ago when one of his elderly patients came to him for help because he and his ill wife were not able to make or even purchase their own food. After this event he began to make meals for the helpless elderly community in Mumbai, India daily starting with only 11 per day, a number which now soars into the hundreds every single day.

5. Anti-Trump protesters aid a Trump supporter after he collapses during protests

At protests in Wisconsin, Pat Ventura and Ana Draa, both anti-Trump protesters, were among the first people to respond to the collapse of a pro-Trump supporter and gave their aid in anyway possible. Later they spoke of the stark differences in ideology between the man and them and their responsibility to provide their care regardless of political standing. Draa and Ventura prove that in spite of our political ideology, we are all still human and capable of giving our care and prayers.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
