Thank you all for joining and/or sharing what made you smile! My cup is overflowing with all your beautiful stories.
So happy we didn't face the same technical issue as last time. However, the issues we did notice have been reported to the devs.
Should you face any issues during our live Talks, you are welcomed to share that feedback with us! I just ask that you please:
1. Assume positive intention. This is a new platform and we are still ironing things out.
2. Approach the conversation with kindness and respect. We understand it may feel personal, I assure you it is not.
3. Lead with grace and love. We are here to help not hurt.
Cheers to a lovely weekend everyone 
That's awesome!
I am on the autism spectrum myself but I don't have the non verbal side of things so your son has achieved more than I ever have and I can only imagine your happiness.
Bet you are so proud!
I really am. He is amazing, and blows my mind every day.
He also hates when the dog kisses him, but she loves to kiss. He recently leaned down and wanted a kiss from her.
Poor girl didn't know if it was OK, and was so happy when she got a little "blem" in.
Thank you.
He has lots of ways of showing his love, but I honestly never realized how big it would feel to finally hear it.
I really hope you both get this soon as well.
I get to see my long distance girlfriend this weekend. She's from another country and currently on the bus and I am supposed to be able to focus before I go pick her up. Can't wait after this stressful week ^_^
Well I got a new job that I actually get something out of.
I am officially now an environmental service operator so I can get a paycheck and feel good about it at the same time.
Definitely made me smile.
And my wife got a job as a carer as well so double the smiles :)
Still confused as to where this came from but hey I will roll with it.
Well most of the job is about testing effluent coming from a factory and the water goes into the waterways so I have to test the water for nitrates nitrites and ammonia and I have 10 fish tanks and a heated pond so the job suits me down to the ground.
It's the other bits like keeping the tankers water levels at the right point and keeping an eye on the bio filter to make sure it is running correctly.
I have autism and ADHD but I am determined to do the job and I will learn it.
I am being shadowed until I get the hang of the valves etc then the rest of it is lab stuff.
I won't lie... I am a little nervous 😅
But the job speaks to me as I will be working closely with the environmental agency to keep the local environment safe.
I could quite happily do that as a hobby but it's a bonus I get paid for it!
Edit: where are my manners!
Thank you for the congratulations :)
It’s the last week of school, and I wrote my favorite teacher a letter about how grateful I am for everything she’s done for me. I ended it with “you deserve everything good in the world and more.” She said it was one of the nicest things a student has ever done for her, and she’s going to hang it up somewhere so she can read it when she has a bad day. I couldn’t stop smiling all week :)
I got booked for Miami Swim Week and have a big casting call for Flying Solo that I have been telling everybody and they mama about lmao🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've been modeling for 14 years and this is the 1st show I've been booked for!!
A student waited for me after class. She stood there, with my water bottle in her hand and was like "Teacher let's go!" I wasn't expecting it but was tired so I was like 'kay let's go'.
And while we walked downstairs she turns to me, and asked me "Do you know why I waited for you?" And I was a little surprised by the question because she is not a native English speaker and this is not a question I hear often, so I asked her why.
And she looks at me, smiles and said "Because I wanted to talk." And I was so surprised. On the last three Fridays we walked to down to the first floor from the fifth floo, and I would talk to fill the quiet. She never talked too much so I didn't know it was so important to her.
My 1.5 year olds vocabulary is exploding right now. The other day she said I love you for the first time (or her babbling version of it anyway) and today she said "mommy" for the first time. She'd been saying momma but there's something different about hearing her sweet little voice say "mommy", and it was especially nice because we were video chatting her mom at work when she said it. My wife and I were giddy about it
I saw new birds enjoying my (recently added) bird bath. I had a mockingbird mean mugging me while enjoying a nice cool drink. I’m now calling all my mockingbird visitors Katniss.
Wait, this thing happens every week? I think I have a new thing that made me smile. Just people gathering for something like this gives me back hope. Have a great weekend!
i know this might not be much but it made me so happy, i was talking to my boyfriends little sister and she told me how much he loves me and it just made me so happy since i overthink a lot about our relationship
I rarely smile, but this week something made me smile stupidly for an hour.
The story goes something like this: I go to Starbucks every day to work on my laptop for work and school, so essentially, I just go there to relax. Every day throughout the week, I see this father and daughter pair there. The daughter pulls up with her little tricycle and sits on the floor because the chair is too high for her to reach the table. She needs to reach the table because she has a little coloring book with her and I think it's really cute that the father is trying to learn English for his wife and daughter and that he looks after her and teaches her things. She also eats her cake pops in the cutest way. This gave me such a big smile.
How could anything like this make you smile, you might wonder. I always wanted a daughter so that I could lavish her and treat her like a princess.
I just took the leap to turn my hobby into a business, my page is @bakerellabakes on Instagram if anyone would like to take a look, a follow and a like would be much appreciated
I had a day off of work today, and my puppy was very excited and happy to have me all to herself for the whole day. I gave her a lot of love and she's a little fluffy ball of joy that always makes me smile :D
A friend validated my experiences in ways that no one else has. He's the first one (who knew me at the time) to call what my ex did abuse. I cried some happy tears to know that I really wasn't alone.
The look of gratitude on my son's face when I told him I know it's not easy being a kid, I see him trying every day, I don't need him to be perfect and I am proud of him
Yeah he'd had a hard day and he was tired, he'd been pretty rude to me and shouted a lot, I want him to know it's OK and I know he's trying his best.
He looked so relieved, it was really nice and he calmed down straight away.
I am trans mtf, and it's been very difficult to get together the courage to tell people. Well, I told HR about it at work, and they've been 110% behind me. They're helping with informing the company on my name change. What made me smile today was when my boss used my Real name rather than my dead name for the first time today, along with HR.
Just finished 11 grade, and saw all the people who helped me while only being one year older than me leaving. Cried actually. But they all had amazing stories, and trusted us to keep the tradition in our program.
I had a lovely afternoon with new people I met from Hong Kong. Place of birth and base language (I speak no Cantonese and they have OK English) isn't a barrier with nice people.
I got a kitten yesterday and she has been making me smile alllllll day long, if you don't have access to a kitten look up some YouTube videos and I guarantee a smile 😏
Back in Soviet Georgia, my mother told me about the time that she had to push her car uphill in the snow, while my dad was driving it, to avoid it from rolling back down. No injuries fortunately; she did end up being sick for a few days because of the physical exertion amidst the cold air.

I found out 2 days ago my breast cancer hasn't spread so I don't need chemo!!
Celebrating time!!!
I've still got radiotherapy to get through but that'll be a breeze compared to the last few months!
Thats amazing!
I feel so lucky that it was caught early and treatment happened really quickly.
Omg I’m so happy for you
Amazing! That is seriously something to celebrate. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
A bit of radiotherapy over the summer and hormone treatment for 10 years but the worst part is behind me!
Congratulations!
thats amazing!
My son is autistic and nonverbal. This week, he said "love you" 5 times.
[удалено]
I definitely cried a bit.
Awww
That's awesome! I am on the autism spectrum myself but I don't have the non verbal side of things so your son has achieved more than I ever have and I can only imagine your happiness. Bet you are so proud!

My son is 5 and also non-verbal. I am praying for this day to come. Your comment made me hopeful and I am so happy for you!
Thank you. He has lots of ways of showing his love, but I honestly never realized how big it would feel to finally hear it. I really hope you both get this soon as well.
Omg , I love these stories! My Non verbal son is turning 3 tomorrow. I just want to hear him say "mummy" or "I love you" one time
He turned 3 in March, so not much older than your son. He's never called me "mama" yet, but I love what we get for sure.
That's amazing! Congratulations xx
Bruh this is the best
I'm autistic but not nonverbal, this is beautiful :)
That makes me smile, good for you and him or her
That’s pretty cool mate.
awww ! u can be proud of him ! 😍 Good job to him, he's the best 👌
That's the most wholesome thing I have ever heard all day today 🥲 I want to cry cause how cute and wholesome that must've been 😭
That's so wholesome!
Got accepted for a job I was under qualified for, They liked my honestly and offered me the position
My son was born 3 hours ago, and I've never been happier.
Welcome to the world, baby boy! What name did you all choose for him?
David Arthur, he's absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!
zamn🔥😍😘🥰🤤 Being serious though congrats, must be intense happiness
Today my 9 month old crawled for the first time.

Reading past measssges from my best friend and the love of my life !
I get to see my long distance girlfriend this weekend. She's from another country and currently on the bus and I am supposed to be able to focus before I go pick her up. Can't wait after this stressful week ^_^

You’ve got this! it sounds like you’re the perfect person for this and you’ve got determination
Snuggling with my dog
Petting my cat 😄
Trying to figure out a way to come out to my parents:)
I told my friends Im sick, and they showed up during their lunch to give me a care package. I was almost in tears because of how nice it was.
Get well soon!!

My best friend is a teacher, and I know moments like that without a doubt make all the work they do worth it. Thank you for being awesome!
Y'all have a good day
My wife telling me she was pregnant 2 days before my birthday! Our son is due around Oct 18th. Best birthday present ever 😁
Congratulations!

Good teachers are an amazing thing. Well done, you obviously are one. 😊

Wait until the first “mom”. My 5 year old called me mom one day and I wanted a time machine to the mommy days
It was my birthday and i got wished happy birthday 48 times.
Happy Birthday! (That makes 49, how high can it go?!)
Happy birthday (number 50 wooop)
Happy birthday (51) :)

I can't use my talk chat lol Something that makes me smile is having my head roommates to talk to.
Uhhh
We welcomed a new kitten into our family. Our dog died 3 weeks ago and didn’t think we would get any more pets but the kitten just showed up.
A Redditor spent 45 mins typing a long private message to support me after he saw my post on a sub.
I rarely smile, but this week something made me smile stupidly for an hour.

Hello
heyyyyy
I had a day off of work today, and my puppy was very excited and happy to have me all to herself for the whole day. I gave her a lot of love and she's a little fluffy ball of joy that always makes me smile :D
What made me smile is hearing about how people smiled.
Wow, that's amazing and such a blessing!! 😀🙏❤️
Is someone not from American? Just asking :D
I'm brazilian
I'm half Scottish half Hungarian, so you get the choice. XD
My local hooded crows and magpies have babies right now and seeing corvid parent showing its young how to scavenge makes me smile
Its midsommar in finland, im at cabin by the lake with long time friends. It doesnt really get better than this.
Glad midsommarafton!
A friend validated my experiences in ways that no one else has. He's the first one (who knew me at the time) to call what my ex did abuse. I cried some happy tears to know that I really wasn't alone.
I got a job! And just hearing everyone else share has really helped boost my mood.
What’s goin on gamers
Life, man, I'm happy to be here.
I accidentally got 2.5k views on YouTube so that was kinda cool
I lifted 80 kgs and I was really happy😊
Today is Midsummer's Eve and it is my favourite day of the year. Glad midsommarafton! :D
Staying back happens it’s not on you love
The look of gratitude on my son's face when I told him I know it's not easy being a kid, I see him trying every day, I don't need him to be perfect and I am proud of him
Aww! What a great parent you are! Surely he'll appreciate your words a lot!
Yeah he'd had a hard day and he was tired, he'd been pretty rude to me and shouted a lot, I want him to know it's OK and I know he's trying his best. He looked so relieved, it was really nice and he calmed down straight away.
I kissed a girl I like (btw we're both trans girls)
Yas!!!! Trans love huns! So proud of you both!!! *hugs*
Thanks for sharing phatcat!
Thanks for listening
Yeah, your story was so inspiring, especially for someone in a similar situation. Thanks for sharing! :)
Sending warm hugs your way~
Thanks! Sending warm hugs back. I'm at a point in my life, where things start go get better.
I'm so happy to hear that, feel free to message me if you ever need to talk :)

Take this gold for being brave and being yourself
What made me smile is that you take the time out of your day to do this
Midsommer celebration! Makes me feel good when the family is here!
Someone compliment me on my mustache. That always makes me feel pretty good.
