When it came to Dori’s like-minded friends however, he said many became despondent.

“I’m deeply invested and I care about the outcome,” said Dori. Still, even though his picks weren’t winners, instead of falling into a depression, he is remembering all of his blessings in life.

“Like I’m going to feel even worse if they send me a nasty email? I don’t care! I’m going to to keep living my life. I have a lot of blessings in life.”
