It's not just cute animals and divisive comment sections
In this day and age, we’re all connected to each other more than ever before. Not only are we the most connected to one another, but we also have access to all of the current events that seem to be rapidly developing in increasingly distressing ways in the palms of our hands.
It is all too easy to get sucked into doomscrolling, with endless fear-inducing headlines and stories of hardship and devastation going viral more often than not. Add to that the typical whirlwind of chaos that is most people’s busy lives, and it has become more and more difficult to see, witness, and enjoy the good and wholesome things that continue to happen on a daily basis.
Things like an understanding, caring smile, genuine compliments, or acts of kindness are easily missed or quickly forgotten when you’re trying to keep up with the demands of a hectic routine, especially when there’s so much doom and gloom advertised all over the news and social media.
That’s why we’re extra thankful and excited to share with you the insights from Glennon Doyle, who emphasizes that "the world is full of beautiful moments waiting to be noticed." Her work is dedicated to uplifting individuals through stories of resilience and kindness. We collected some of the most touching, inspiring, and smile-inducing posts to give you a smile and help restore some faith in humanity. Keep scrolling to see more.
