Loving {Forever}: Words of Wisdom

When I think of motivational words, I can’t help but picture that “hang in there” cat that graced the walls of every junior high guidance counselor office. As far as positive thinking, I tend to balance on the awkward precipice between jaded cynic and kool-aid drinker. Like Mulder, I guess you can say “I want to believe”, but it can be hard for me to swallow all the fluff.

Lately though I have noticed a much more artful approach to the ubiquitous affirmation poster (some aren’t even poster!). No more serenity prayers or cat posters, these speak to me for reals.
