Things that are contagious

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first, yes?

  • SARS-CoV-2
  • Colds
  • Flu
  • Strep
  • Anxiety
  • Sadness
  • Awkwardness
  • Stupid behavior (herds!)
  • Slobbishness
  • Cleanliness (though probably to a lesser extent)
  • Beards
  • Fashion in general
  • Diet
  • Activity Levels
  • Entrepreneurialism (hello, Bay Area)
  • Pairing off, marrying, reproducing
  • Accents
  • Language in general (words, expressions, tone)
  • Checking teeth for food
  • Music that can be hummed
  • Dancing
  • Generosity
  • Curiosity
  • Attention
  • Enthusiasm
  • Smiles
  • Laughter

A question for life: How can we practice acknowledging both the ugly and the beautiful? 


A question for now: What’s the loveliest contagious thing you can think of? I’d love to read your comment below.

Thanks to Writing Through Uncertainty for the prompt.
