[cosmickitty]

I've been working on some wall decals for my house and I've been trying to find a quote that I'd be okay reading every day when I wake up in the morning without ripping it down ie. nothing perky and nothing that tells me I should dance and sing and be happy. I've thought about quoting dr. seuss, but idk.... Favorite quotes?

My top 3
