By Jacob Cordas — My comfort food is Parks and Recreation. When my depression takes over and I can’t imagine any existence that doesn’t involve couch lock, I put on Parks and Rec. And I watch it for hours. It’s soothing. The character’s fundamental kindness and compassion can’t help but make me feel a little bit better. Everything in the show is just a few acts of kindness away from redemption and anyone who rejects that kindness is wrong. It’s comforting in a way I can consume forever.
