"That kid chose the 1 person being bullied over the 20 doing the bullying because it was the right thing to do."

29-year-old son takes his mom to their first Irish dance class to help him find his joy again
"I'm back on my journey to find joy!"
One of the quickest ways to get out of a rut is to dance, and for Instagrammer Kash Jones (@imkashjones), it's how he's finding his way back to 'joy." The 29-year-old from London has been documenting his journey to do "10 fun things before 30," and reclaim a sense of joy he's felt he's lost over time.
His latest adventure took him and his mom, Sharon, to try an Irish stepdance class together--just in time for St. Patrick's Day. "10 Fun things before 30! - Let’s get it 🔥 Irish dancing with Mumzzieeee 🕺🖤 @londonacademyirishdance," he captioned the post.
Woman with Down syndrome named Grace, 26, befriends favorite postman named Will
"Unsuspecting best friends: Will and Grace."
The most unlikely friendships can develop in the most unlikely places. For best friends Will and Grace (yep, just like the namesake NBC sitcom, Will & Grace), that place was their local post office.
Grace, a 26-year-old with Down syndrome, is an artist and entrepreneur who owns a small business called Candidly Kind. She started in March 2018 when she was a senior in high school after she was mistreated and turned down for a job. "Her mission since day one has been to spread light, love, and acceptance, and to give back to help people with disabilities," her mom Carrie explains in an Instagram video. With frequent packages to mail to her customers, Grace began making trips to her local post office, where she met Will, a postman working there who quickly became her favorite.
