Because sometimes we just need some inspiration.

Words I Live By

Sometimes they're cheesy or silly, but I've always loved a good quote. Words are so powerful; they help us through the tough times and remind us of reasons to live life to the fullest. Here are fifteen quotes that I live by - I hope you will find some inspiration in them!

1. “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” - Unknown

2. “Life is not a competition. Find your own happiness and stay there.” -Unknown

3. "Don’t let what you can't do interfere with what you can do.” -John R. Wooden

4. “What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet” -Anne Frank

5. “People will give up on you. Don’t give up on you.” -Unknown

6. “Perfect doesn’t matter. Just be you. Dream your dreams. Like what you like, stick to your gut feelings. Be 100% truly, deeply, uniquely, strangely, passionately you.” -The Quiet Rabbit

7. “None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an afterthought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in that ocean. Say the truth that you're carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.” -Nanea Hoffman

8. “Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and where you want to be.” -Gossip Girl

9. “Sometimes it’s okay if all you did today was breathe.” -Unknown"

10. “What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over...The notion that it's too late to do anything is comical. It's hilarious. We're graduating college. We're so young. We can't, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it's all we have.” -Marina Keegan

11. “Sometimes you have to create your own sunshine.” -Unknown

12. "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced." -Soren Kierkegaard

13. "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." -C.S Lewis

14. “You can't always get the perfect moment. Sometimes, you just have to do the best you can under the circumstances.” -Sarah Dessen, Author

15. “Kid you’ll move mountains!” -Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
