We all get in those thinking moods where we just want to curl up with a blanket and ponder over life, an old relationship, or a memory for no reason at all. Instead of listening to Drake to get those profound juices flowing, here are some quotes found on Tumblr that should do the trick.
“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.” –Dita Von Teese
If I could insert a heart eyes emoji in here, I would—fifty times. It’s the oldest and corniest sentiment in the game, but you’ve got to be you. Seriously—those who you don’t have to impress are those who are meant to be in your life.
2. “It’s okay if I’m not the girl of your dreams, or the one you dance with at prom. I just want to be the girl you think about 20 years from now, while you’re staring at your morning coffee, wishing that you hadn’t poured so much milk in because now it’s too creamy to resemble my dark brown eyes.” –Unknown
This one’s for the ladies that are mourning over somebody—we’ve all been there, and we’re all going to get through it. Stay strong! (Also, bonus points if your eyes actually are brown, because that makes this quote even more #relatable)
3. “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” –Howard Thurman
It’s easy to get caught up in the social norm instead of following our passions, but life is too short. Spend your limited time on the Earth by doing what you love—whether that’s running a big-shot company, singing on a street corner, or whatever. Do what makes you happy, not what others think you should be doing.
4. “You’re allowed to miss the people who were bullets to you, but you’re not allowed to let them shoot you again.” –Reyna Biddy
I can’t stress enough how much self-respect is important, yet constantly neglected. Toxic relationships are too common, between friends, lovers, family, whoever. Love yourself enough to avoid them.
5. “You have to be the kind of person who make the best out of a Tuesday. You know those people who live for the weekends? They're wishing their life away. You have to find something worth living for, or else you'll look back and realize you've wasted your life away." - Drew Marvin
I saved the best for last with this one. A common theme of high school and college is waiting for the weekends or the lovely, much-anticipated “Thirsty Thursday.” But contrary to popular belief, it is possible to have the best day of your life on a random Wednesday, when you’re completely sober. Embrace the other five days each week that life gives you.
