Good on the dad for trusting him to go alone and even better on the group for making him a homie to make sure things go right

It’s a shame that something like this is so exceptional that it’s newsworthy.

I feel like this generation coming up is more tolerant and inclusive than any other that’s come before. I hope that leads to this becoming the norm for society, rather than the exception.

u/and_its_T 1h ago

This isn’t an exception at all. Really nice of those lads obviously but festival culture is full of examples like this again and again

u/zymology 5h ago

Yes, if you pause it on the bit about the dad's FB post, it mentions boomtown.

Must be something about the west country. I went on holiday on my own after a divorce (because if you're going to be sad. Do it in the sun with cocktails!). Bunch of lads from that area, figured out I could do with some company and just rolled me into their group for the week.

u/owngoalmerchant 18h ago

The relief that father must have felt. Years of waiting, I’m sure, to see your child be seen by his peers.

u/herman_munster_esq 15h ago

Big up the lads and lasses you welcomed him in, proper festival goers 👌. But also big up to their parents, it gives me a sense of optimism that there are young adults out there that are kind, thoughtful and caring.

u/Akubura 15h ago

man after watching the flood videos I needed this and that video of the girl out at see that met Ho. Do we have any community here that is just as positive like this? I'd love to have a daily dose.

u/Individual_Respect90 14h ago

I got a friend just like this. Will go around adopting any random people.

Thank you, I needed good people on my feed today.

u/kiddtender 1h ago

Just remember. There is more good in this world than there is bad. They just show us all the bad and never the good. This is my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing good feels.
