Describe a post you saw on social media that you remember

A post I remember well was one I saw on social media last year, shared by a friend of mine. I was scrolling through my feed one evening, feeling a bit tired, when I noticed a short video of a young man helping an old woman carry her shopping home.

The man was a stranger who had seen the lady struggling with several heavy bags on a bus stop, and he simply picked them up and walked with her for nearly a kilometre. Someone had filmed it from a window across the street. The video was only about a minute long, but at the end the lady hugged him, and he said something like, 'Please don't worry, my grandmother is the same.' There was no music or special effects, just two people being kind. It had already been shared several thousand times by the time I saw it, and the comments were full of people saying it had made their day.

I think I remember it for two main reasons. Firstly, social media is often full of arguments, advertising and unrealistic images, so a simple, honest, heartwarming moment stood out. It reminded me that there are good people everywhere. Secondly, it affected my behaviour. The following week, I noticed an elderly neighbour carrying her bags up the stairs, and I immediately offered to help, something I might not have done before. I also shared the video with my family. It shows me that, used well, social media can spread positive things as quickly as negative ones.
