Inspiring.. True facts.. Never give up

When the motivational quote trend first took off, I thought it was stupid.

I thought people would know to drink fresh water without having their water bottle tell them to. I figured the idea that friends were more important than money was common sense and not something that needed to be proclaimed on a gym bag. I assumed people naturally did things they enjoyed without relying on their desk calendar to put this idea in their head.

I still feel this way to an extent, however, as a recent and lost-feeling graduate, have come to realize the power these words have.

I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve read someone’s Lululemon shopping bag, yet every time I see that “Dance, Sing, Floss & Travel” part it genuinely makes me want to sing and dance. It motivates me to start saving up for a new trip. It even encourages me to improve my dental hygiene.

Seeing these four words together, for whatever reason, makes me believe that everything is going to be okay. I don’t need to have it all figured out yet. Things will happen when they happen and in the meantime there is so much else to be enjoyed. It genuinely comforts me and makes me see that although student life is over, new grad life can be simpler than we always make it out to be.

All this from a reusable shopping bag! Imagine what I could get from a suitcase.
