A lot of people read FMylife.com and I used to too alot last year. I think people go to that site because it makes them feel better knowing that someone else is more fucked up situation then them.
givemehope.com is even better and it puts you in a good mood and not by default :D
Here are some of my favorites:
A long time ago, I went to see a band at a small club in Chicago, the band was unknown and broke.
After the show, they scraped up enough money to go and buy fast food for all the homeless men near the club.
The band? Fall Out Boy.
Good karma GMH.
I recently rung up a young boy and his mother. When he saw me at the register, wearing a hijab, he grinned broadly at me. As they were walking away afterwards, he tugged on his mom's sleeve and said,
"Did you see her, ma? She's gorgeous! I bet that's why she's all covered up."

During WWII, my family's home in Western Russia was pillaged by the German Army.
After the fall of communism, an elderly man showed up to the now rebuilt house. He told my grandmother that he was a former German soldier, and he wanted to return the jewelry he stole from the house.
Men like him GMH!
Today, I took one of the children I work with to have to McDonalds. The child is 7 years old, autistic, has fetal alcohol syndrome and lives in a shelter with his grandmother.
Aware he was hungry, I asked him why he hadn't eaten his food and he smiled and answered
"I want to take it home to share it with my grandma." GMH
I was at the mall the other day when I saw an old couple sitting together. The man looked over at the woman and said,
"Jane, we did it. We grew old together."
The look in her eyes GMH.
Last year, I was going to kill myself. I wrote a note and slipped it into my best friend's locker at school. That night, I was preparing to die, when she crawled through my window and kissed me. My first real kiss.
Kristain, I know you read GivesMeHope all the time. Will you marry me?
He GMH.
how sweet :D
