When I was young my mom told me to think of something happy when I felt sad or scared. Every since then my go-to smile-inducing thought has been … squirrels.

The next four years are going to be painful. I’m going to think of a lot of squirrels.

   This post reminded me of an Arthur episode called “The Squirrels” where he and his friends watch a horror movie about squirrels and start staying indoors to avoid them. I think it is funny that the characters were paranoid about squirrels while squirrels bring you a sense of joy.

     This connection applies to history because it represents how people can view the same thing from such different angles. We need to remember that history is biased, and we should always keep our minds open.

   This post caught my eye because I think that in society today, people can be much more negative than before, and sometimes it’s really hard to stay positive. But with something so small as a squirrel or a picture of it, or even a video, can just remind you that better days are to come. Plus who doesn’t love seeing animals do funny things?
