The strongest tool we have as humans is our ability to connect, which requires emotional vulnerability and openness, not just with ourselves but also with others.

If your realization is that you really don’t know all that much about journalism, don’t worry — you’re not the only one.

But we ask you, please, don’t shoot the messenger.

While there are definitely movies that warrant tears, some of the movies I’ve cried to are a bit embarrassing to admit — at least according to my siblings. So, here’s a list of the movies I’ve cried to, from least embarrassing to most embarrassing. I promise some of these have gotten to you too.

It’s an endless cycle known as “doom scrolling,” and I believe this phenomenon is killing not only our time but also our creativity.
