If you’ve ever spent a few hours scrolling through social media, you’ve probably noticed that it can trigger some pretty intense emotions. From the latest political debates to viral videos of personal stories, the online world seems to bring out everything from outrage to empathy in ways that are hard to ignore. Social media, in…

The world is rough sometimes, and it’s important to have a bit of mental and emotional armour to protect yourself from the cruelty out there.
