The internet is often not a particularly wholesome place. It's chock-full of bad news and arguments in every comment section. Things might look bleak throughout most of the online world, but the truth is, there are still some glimmers of hope shining through now and then.

One of the most prominent examples of this comes from wholesome memes, the meme genre that defies the usual negativity and produces something with completely positive energy.

These memes will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. And if you're in a bad mood, they just might make your day a little better. There's no mood that can't be improved by a wholesome meme. The world's been a rough place lately, so we could all use something welcoming and pleasant to laugh at rather than the wildly negative nonsense we find pretty much everywhere else. Take a break from the bad memes and take a look at 25 of the best.
