You’re not weak for avoiding bad news — you’re human. Behavioral science calls it the “ostrich effect,” a reflex to help the mind manage what it can’t control.
Inside the Ostrich Effect: How Ignorance Has Become a Survival Strategy
Research suggests our tendency to ignore bad news isn’t irrational — it’s self-preservation, and could help explain why older people are often happier.

One cannot be sad when being grateful.
Here are my tricks for staying positive.
1. Be grateful and give thanks for my blessings.
2. Listen to music
3. Look after my health by eating and exercising
4. Learn something new
5. Repeat: You are a good and beautiful person.
This was my Dad's mantra.

I miss being his daughter. I miss his dad jokes, his concern, and his companionship. This will be my first Christmas without him. He was my friend, mentor, and hero. So heartbreaking telling him they were going to let him bleed out and die, I literally saw the light go out in his eyes. #DaddysGirl

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.
