Welcome to the unofficial warm blanket of the internet where pandemic stress is put on hold for as long as you’re there and everything looks just a little bit better. The subreddit called r/GetMotivated welcomes you with a soul-soothing “We’re glad you made it.” Because they know how hard it is to escape the harrowing reality of sad, fake, and plain ‘can’t take it no more’ news.
But here, a whopping 17 million members are sharing all things motivation that promise to “help you finally get up and do what you know you need to do.” And sometimes it’s all that you need.
