Melody Hansen’s Instagram page will encourage you to live a softer life. “Feelings are temporary,” reads one post, while another states that “time hasn’t revealed everything yet.” Originally from Lausanne, Switzerland and currently based in Los Angeles, California, Hansen’s work includes illustration, graphic design, writing, creative direction, and lettering.

But sometimes, it all boils down to a punchable quote. “I’ve always loved typography and always sensed I was good at it, so the handwriting came a bit afterward when I started posting handwritten text on Instagram,” she shared in an interview with Freelance Wisdom.

She now has more than 80k fans on Instagram, embracing her soothing aesthetic. Of course, it took some time and a lot of work to reach that point. “When I was 12, my dad brought home the first version of Photoshop from his work and I started playing around with it,” she relayed. “I didn’t really know what graphic design was at the time, but I liked playing around with photos of celebrities and myself and I’d overlay them with text.”

After high school was over, she got into OCADU for Graphic Design in Toronto. But after a year or so, she dropped out. “I started making music at the time, and I started feeling claustrophobic with everything going on,” she said. “So I let myself take my time. People began asking me for designs, and from there, developed my brand.”

Her brand proved to be a success, and with more and more fans following her progress – the sky is truly the limit for Hansen.

These are in no way easy times, but beating yourself up can (and will) only make things worse. Here to help us out of the ditch is author, blogger, and designer Dani DiPirro. Her Instagram page has become a meeting place for those of us in need of some kind reminders. “Being productive isn’t life’s purpose,” reads one recent post, while another suggests that “often, if someone is giving you a hard time, it’s because they’re having a hard time.”

According to DiPirro, her goal in life is to help you focus on the positive in every situation. Aside from her Instagram page, she also runs the website PositivelyPresent.com dedicated to the cause. Launched in 2009, we couldn’t have stumbled upon her brand at a better time. She’s even dedicated an article to staying positive in times of pandemic. 

“Be positive. Be present. This is your life,” states DiPirro on her website. “Though many of us try to, it’s impossible to live happily in the past or in the future,” writes DiPirro on her website. “And if the now is all we have, why not make this moment a positive experience?”

You might as well give it a chance.

With so much bad in the world, we could use a little good in our life. The Happy Newspaper is up for the challenge, promoting positive news and wonderful people for a change. Spearheaded by Emily Coxhead, it also spans across colorful greeting cards, products and books all lovingly and individually designed by Coxhead, and featuring her recognizable quirky handwriting.

“Every single day there are people helping others and doing incredible things in all corners of the planet and the majority of them aren’t celebrated,” writes Coxhead on the newspaper’s website, “but we think they deserve to be recognised. We aim to bring a refreshing twist on what we typically know as ‘news’, reporting on positive changes and truly inspiring people.”

According to Coxhead, the newspaper’s purpose is not to deliver sad or terrifying news to your doorstep, but to share and celebrate positive, uplifting stories that are often overlooked. “For many people, understanding the idea behind the newspaper is one thing,” she writes, “but experiencing what a difference it makes to see and read solely positive articles is another.”

The Happy Newspaper includes such articles as “Cuddling Can Help Wounds Heal Faster,” and “Trash Man Builds Free Library Out of 20,000 Books Found In Bins.” Though the newspaper itself is made in the world’s tiniest office in a little village in North West England, it has now been read by over 12,000 subscribers in 33 different countries each quarter, and includes almost 300k followers on Instagram.

You’ll want to take a peek.
