This Trend Is Taking Over Tumblr, and It's Awesome

These days, it's easy to get lost in the negativity on the Internet and feel alone. Tumblr is trying to change that by launching a new campaign geared toward positivity online.

The blogging platform's "Post It Forward" initiative is an effort to talk more about mental-health issues, with an emphasis on online communities and sharing. The site is encouraging anyone and everyone to share a message about how they got through a rough patch in their lives and let the online world know that they too will get through a bad day — or year. The advice and stories will live within both the hashtag and on the Tumblr site, PostItForward.tumblr.com.

So far, notable celebrities and influential figures have joined, like Vice President Joe Biden, Brittany Snow, and Elizabeth Banks. Their messages highlight the causes they believe in, such as antibullying and ending sexual assault. While the campaign is geared toward a platform for mental-health issues, there's no limit to what the online community wants to shed light on.

We collected some of the most touching ones so far. You can join by posting a video, a short text post, or even creating a GIF selfie with a new Tumblr tool and hashtagging your message with #PostItFoward. You never know who will benefit from your advice.
