Watch the news and you’ll get the impression that our world is a dark, scary place. Social media also has a way of emphasizing the bad over the good – unless, of course, you actively decide to focus on the positive.
Making that decision, Scott Hechinger asked people on Twitter to name things that give them hope.
Tweeters replied, giving us amazing reasons why we should have hope nowadays. Scott received over 1,000 replies, reminding us all that there is plenty of good in this world.
