Amid the current political chaos and global uncertainty, we more often than not forget to look at the positive aspects of life. I am here to remind you that all though January has felt like a long and excruciating month, good things have happened. In chronological order, here are a few:
Jan. 3rd: Kim Kardashian returns to social media following her three-month break due to personal turmoil.
Jan. 5th: Viola Davis receives Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
Jan. 6th: Ed Sheeran releases two singles, namely “Shape of You” and “Castle on the Hill”, after taking a break from social media and music for an entire year.
Jan. 8th: Tracee Ellis Ross wins Golden Globe for Best Actress in Television Series Musical or Comedy
Jan. 15th: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus announce that its circus is shutting down in May 2017
Jan. 20th: Shia LaBeouf opens live stream/art piece, HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US, to the public on Donald Trump’s Inauguration day.
Jan. 28th: Serena Williams wins the Australian Open by defeating her sister, Venus Williams, and earns her 23rd Grand Slam title.
Jan. 29th: Roger Federer wins the Australian Open by defeating Rafael Nadal, earning his 18th Grand Slam title.
Many more great things happened during the month of January; some small, some big, and some personal. We should remind ourselves that all though bad things may happen, there is still some good in the world.
