As much as we hate to admit it, Instagram is an important part of our lives. It's often the first thing we see in the morning (especially when we just want a few more minutes in bed) and the last thing we see before we close our eyes at night. Honestly, I can't tell you how many times I've absentmindedly scrolled through my feed or tapped through Instagram stories.

Since we are glued to social media, why not make it a little more worthwhile? Why not make your morning scroll through Instagram a little more positive and heartwarming?

Here are 15 accounts you should definitely follow for a little bit of happiness and inspiration. Most of them are mental health accounts (except for one...hint: animals).

1. @selfcareisforeveryone

Instagram

@selfcareisforeveryone is a page made by Self-Care Station, a website that sells mental health clothing and donates 10% of sales to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Self-Care Station also provides resources against self-harm and suicide. Their Instagram feed is full of colorful and inspiring graphics (made my many artists) and a positive community of people who share their mission.

2. @positivelysparkly

Instagram

@positivelysparkly posts exactly what you would think: colorful (and sometimes sparkly) images with inspirational messages and reminders. They also post a lot of things on their story!

3. @selflovegxng

I love this account and its attitude! This account posts a lot of messages related to loving yourself and being confident. What else could you ask for?

4. @sosheslays

Channel your inner girl boss. Enough said.

5. @howtogetittogether

The owner of the page @howtogetittogether is a marriage and family therapist that posts inspirational (and funny) posts basically every day. My favorite is "Gwen Stefani was right. This shit is bananas."

6. @betteringbecca

I love hearing people's stories. I love getting tips on how to deal with my anxiety from someone who has been through it. Becca does this and much more.

7. @bensmithhasanxiety

Ben goes to college near me. I heard of his account from a friend and I've been obsessed with it since. He is unashamed of his anxiety and wants to ensure that others know to reach out.

8. @onemindtherapy

The owner of this page, Elizabeth Sockolov, has online therapy sessions but she also posts inspirational messages! Most of the messages are centered on self-compassion and acceptance, which I love!

9. @makesureyourfriendsareokay

In addition to a website that sells merchandise and a mental health blog, @makesureyourfriendsareokay posts reminders to check on your friends and to stay in supportive relationships. It has also featured YouTuber Imari Stewart!

13. @lostgotfound

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
