thishappypage

welcome!

this happy page began as an instagram page, and is now a community aimed to empower and inspire. there’s a negative association with social media, and the page was intentionally created to fight that stigma. social media has an incredible amount of power to influence people from all over the world, and what better way to use that potential than to spread positivity? in addition, social media provides an outlet for people who are struggling. hidden behind the safety of their screens, people often feel more comfortable seeking help on social platforms than they would in person. instagram, in particular, is accessible, easy to navigate, and meaningful through its ability to connect people to each other at the same time.

the founder of this happy page is a college student, who was inspired in middle school to create a community where people can come to for a boost of positivity and empowerment (hi!!!!). the page is based on the ideals of love and kindness, and that everyone deserves all of the love they give to others. when the page was created on february 20th, 2015, i had no expectations for how big it would grow. it was aimed to uplift peoples’ spirits and contribute to the movement advocating for social media as a place for positive change. the page is now over five years old, and the 14 year old middle schooler that started it is now 21 years old, and i plan to work in social media marketing after i graduates college. this happy page is a testament that everyone has the power to change the world, regardless of the expectations that are pushed upon them.

the instagram page currently has an audience of over 288,000 followers from all over the world and continues to reach over 450,000 users on a weekly basis, with over 1.9 million impressions. the page’s growth proves how social media is growing to become more of a positive platform, and that more and more people are taking steps to actively invest in their happiness.

"i read the quotes and feel recognized"

“i [was] diagnosed with depression right around a year ago. i think following @thishappypage felt like one step towards owning my process of healing. a lot of the time i read the quotes and feel recognized and even called out, but in a good way. especially during quarantine, it feels really nice to have a reminder [of] all of the people on this page who are dealing with the same very human thoughts, feelings, experiences. i think in the past i’ve rejected some of these types of positivity accounts because they can give pretty harmful advice… this is one of the only accounts i’ve found that i can trust to only share information that is safe and also really helpful.”
