Oh gosh, 2018 was such a long, hard year. Climate change is now in full swing, there's been a ton of celebrity deaths and breakups, not to mention everyone's struggling with their finances and mental health seemingly more than ever. Winding down to celebrate the holidays was a relief more than anything, as we were finally afforded the opportunity to wave goodbye to this terrible, crappy year. With 2019, there is fresh hope, and as we embark on another crucial 12 months, I have the purest Twitter account on the web to show you to help you start this year on the right note. The Cookie Monster Twitter account seems simple, but in a way it's all of us, and it's brought me so much joy already in 2019. Enjoy. 1.
