    Did you know that it has been proven that people are more likely to share bad news online than positive stories? This is because when something’s shocking, unbelievable, or depressing, it automatically feels more “share-worthy,” and is bound to spread faster than warm and fuzzy content.

    There’s actually a science behind why we find ourselves on social media for hours on end, and a lot of it comes down to doomscrolling. Recognized as a compulsive habit, this behavior is often motivated by an intense urge to feel safer and more in control by constantly staying in the know. Over time, doomscrolling can cause more anxiety, stress, and even make us feel more depressed than usual.

    I was staying in the Hilton hotel in Riyadh for several weeks for work, and my hotel room cleaner from Nepal left me a towel animal. I left him a note asking if he could leave it there the next time he cleaned my room, and he did. And over several weeks the collection kept growing until the day I checked out. Such a nice highlight to my extended stay and I left him a little hamper of snacks and a tip to say thank you (there was actually at least six more animals he made but they slowly lost their shape over time).

    I only had two grandparents, as the other two diеd before I was born. The two I had didn’t speak English, and my grandfather hated children with a passion (at least until my little sister was born; out of his dozen or so grandchildren, for some reason, he was crazy about her.) It just dawned on me that I can’t tell you a single thing about my maternal grandparents; I was never told so much as a single anecdote. It now realize that my mom musta known what bad parents are like, and yet she was the least-affectionate person I’ve ever known. I gather I now have some idea why that is. (I don’t even have a photo of her parents.) I sure wish at least one of ‘em coulda been worth a post like this. My paternal grandmother was kind, but as I mentioned, since she didn’t know a word of English, we couldn’t communicate. As I suffered with migraines, she’d hug my head and my parents said that she said she was trying to transfer the migraine from me to her. She was likely a good soul.
