If you're like me, you can only take so much of today's news before you feel yourself beginning to spiral. With COVID-19, the presidential election, financial stress, and the threat of climate change, we all have a lot on our plates and the news isn't really helping. But, before you give up all hope, let me introduce you to a safe haven of positive news, because believe it or not, that's a thing that exists. Look no further than @the_happy_broadcast on Instagram. Here's why they deserve your follow.

The Happy Broadcast focuses entirely on positive news and mental health, giving us all a much needed break from the constant bombardment of the 24 hour news cycle. The creator of the account, Mauro Gatti explains that "The Happy Broadcast was born as a way to deal with my social anxiety caused by the constant stream of negative news."

They Cover A Variety of Topics

The Happy Broadcast has covered gender equality, healthcare, animal rights, and anything else you can think of. As someone who worries frequently about the threat of climate change on our future, The Happy Broadcast's positive environmental news is my favorite.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
