There’s so much ugliness lately—particularly at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—so it’s important to remember that social media can still teach us to share, embrace, and learn from joy.
1. Be amazed by everything, since everything is amazing.

3. Find joy in the joy of others. Find pain in their pain. It’s that simple.

4. Be kind to others. You don’t know what they’ve been through.

6. Always be gracious. And also like whatever the hell you want, regardless of what others think.
