Look, sometimes life can become overwhelming, so we turn to social media for escape and distraction. This can (more often than not) make us feel worse about ourselves – I mean, it’s basically full of people making themselves look near-perfect with Facetune, Photoshop – heck, most people purely show themselves with a filter over their lives. But, I think that turning to social media can be a good thing, if you’re following the right accounts – there are someday when a post or two can really lift my spirits and encourage me, or simply make me giggle a bit. So, I have put together a list of my favourite positive accounts that I have discovered on Instagram, for you to peruse at your pleasure 🙂

This account just sends out really positive vibes. It is what I would describe as a more personal account, but the theme is positive and bright, and there are quite a couple of posts that really hit me in the relatability bone. This is one of them:
I. Love. This. Account. It has so many profound and encouraging messages – a lot of which always seem to appear right as I need them. This is one of the first accounts that I look at in the morning because it puts me in a good mood and always teaches me something about myself.
So this one is a little different from the others in the way that it is more of an art account. The girl who runs this account does small, cute sketches and places them out in the world for the occasional onlooker to notice. I just think it’s a really cute idea that, again, gives off wholesome vibes.

Ok, so the name of the account threw me off at first too – but it isn’t actually about plants. It’s called Garden24co because it supports the growth of people , and their life journeys – they also have some killer merch, and who doesn’t want that right?
I would like to say that this account was one of my OG favourites from back in the day. There are some legitimately funny posts in this account that tickle my funny bone, and there is something relatable to almost everyone who looks. Also (most importantly) they are all very wholesome.
By Thomas English @thomasjenglish7 On Sorry Day and during Reconciliation Week Australians say sorry for the policies that led to the Stolen Generations. For more than 100 years the government had an official policy of removing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. The majority of children were taken between 1869 and 1969, but […]
This story is in loving memory of my Babcia (Grandmother), whose strength, courage, and grace gave me peace. Softly spoken and quiet in nature, she witnessed the atrocities of war, and from these experiences she learnt the wisdom of love. I will love and miss you, rest in peace for your legacy lives on in each […]
