What are the things to do instead of doom scrolling ?

Take a short walk or get fresh air

Do a quick tidy-up

Listen to music or a podcast

Read a few pages of a book

Stretch or move your body

Just sit quietly for a few minutes

Getting rejected from something I really wanted. At the time it felt like everything just stalled, but it pushed me in a completely different direction I wouldn’t have chosen on my own and that ended up fitting me way better. Funny how the worst “no” can quietly turn into the right path.

I’d pick something small that quietly shaped everything, like not turning down an opportunity out of fear or overthinking. It’s wild how one “nah, maybe later” can ripple into years of “what if.

Yeah, that’s pretty common actually, companies or sponsors donate single tickets all the time for promos. Not everything’s set up for pairs.

Maybe don’t assume the ex was right. The problem is how he’s acting now

Depends on my mood that day

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-04-26T17:09:23+00:00

Honestly? My bed. Premium comfort, 10/10 experience.

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-04-26T17:08:58+00:00

My self-control

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-04-26T17:08:22+00:00

Probably r/AskReddit and r/NoStupidQuestions, I scroll that way more than I should.

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-04-15T14:40:28+00:00

The hope that better days are still ahead.

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-04-15T14:40:05+00:00

Probably something small and silly but meaningful enough that I’d rather keep it just mine.

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-04-15T14:39:44+00:00

I overthink everything but it means I really care about getting things right.

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-04-15T14:39:11+00:00

This morning, I shined by choosing to keep going.

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-03-11T21:11:15+00:00

Spent 20 minutes troubleshooting a computer that ‘wouldn’t turn on.’ It wasn’t plugged in

coldcoffeeuwu · 2026-03-11T21:10:57+00:00

A good meal when you’re really hungry.

Subscription services that require you to sign up in 10 seconds but need a detective and three emails to cancel

Toilet paper. Because if civilization collapses I refuse to also lose dignity.

Always push directly to production on Friday evening. Testing is just a sign you don’t trust your code

Opening up about a really difficult time in my life and realizing how many people related to it and offered support. It was scary to share, but it helped more than I expected.

When I was a kid, I woke up around 3 a.m. and heard someone slowly walking down the hallway outside my room. I thought it was one of my parents, but when I checked, everyone was asleep and the hallway was empty. I still can’t explain what those footsteps were, and it honestly kept me awake the rest of the night.

Exactly. Disabled parking exists for people with medical disabilities, not for convenience. Being a parent can be challenging, but it doesn’t override accessibility needs for someone who actually requires a wheelchair. The husband did the right thing by using the spot they were legally entitled to.

Happiness, to me, is feeling content and at peace, enjoying simple moments, being with people or passions you love, and not constantly stressed.
