Attitude is Everything; Everything is Temporary
“You know the beginning of Moby Dick, when the narrator says that when he finds himself growing grim about the mouth and wanting to knock people’s hats off, he takes to the sea? Well, I feel like knocking people’s hats off.” -Rory Gilmore //
Today, I was able to give away almost 150 origami boats to strangers as a reminder that we are all in this together. Maybe you experienced a magnificent start-of-the-week revelation today. Maybe your biggest accomplishment was getting out of bed. Wherever you are in life, it is right where you are suppose to be. Embrace it and don’t forget to take care of yourself.
You are allowed bad days. You are justified in your struggles. I want you to know that you are loved, seen, heard, and understood. Being an adult is literally jumping from feeling like you are on top of the world to feeling like you cannot even take another step. Just take a breath! You are not alone. You are alive and you are doing the damn thing and for that, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
You never know who needs help to stay afloat.
You are not alone! Don’t let yourself sink.
Sometimes, all you need after a super rough day is to write down anything that is bugging you or weighing you down, fold it into an origami boat, ship it off to sea, and let it go.
It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.
