【Eng Sub】

In 2020,Eng Sub people were struck by an overwhelming desire to consume good news.

Positive, uplifting stories have always been sought out, but this year, with a deadly pandemic, nationwide protests sparked by social injustice, and a stark political divide in America, good news was more than just lighthearted relief — it became a useful component to restoring lost hope.

John Krasinski's quarantine YouTube series, Some Good News, acted as an unexpected life raft for people who felt disheartened by 2020's continual stream of bad news. As the New York Timesreported, Google searches for "good news" also saw a serious spike in April, and platforms dedicated to sharing positive content saw increased popularity this year, too.

While good news certainly doesn't negate the bad news in the world, it doeshave the power to relieve and refresh you, so why not make consuming good news a regular act of self-care?

Next time you catch yourself doomscrolling, be sure to take a step back and seek out your daily dose of good news from one of the five sources below.
