I am not big on self-affirmations. I do, however, like a good quote that borders on the dark humor fence. Below are a few of my favorite quotes that apply to my everyday life. Feel free to share some of your own. Enjoy

3. “People are particularly stupid today. I can’t speak to any more of them today. ” Gilmore Girls
4. “A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.” Victor Hugo
5. “If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.” — Anatole France
6. “It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change”. Charles Darwin

Ha! I like quotes Mimi – one of my favourites is “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting”… I always have trouble with the ‘not going all the way’ bit 🙂

One of my favorite quotes is, “Life is actually really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” I’m not sure who said it, but they must have known me in a past life. As a fellow psychology nerd, I’m notorious for over-thinking and over-analyzing things to death, and it often takes a reminder from those around me to stop over-complicating what’s right in front of me.

I think I’ve found some soulmates here! As a fiction writer, I also overthink everything. My imagination makes a bad situation way worse and turns every thought I have into a potential story!
