The awesome people in the world. The loud, mean ones are easier to spot and spew their crap confidently, but the less obnoxious, actually nice people are everywhere.
Don’t let the media and Internet fool you.
PS: And if you can help a decent human in need, please do.
Getting involved in activities has really helped me see there are a ton of folks out there still doing amazing and positive things.
I've started playing music with other people again and we've played 2 small public shows and some events where we just play for each other and everyone has been very supportive and we have a great time.
I also volunteered at the wild animal rescue this year, and it's hard to choose if the people or animals are more amazing. Well, the people are much friendlier than the animals, but seeing the things they can come back from really can feel like witnessing miracles sometimes.
But that's twice a week I get to hang out with people that help me grows, support me being a better and more rounded person, and we forget about outside troubles and put everything into a positive activity together. It's been a major help this year.
