Hey guys, been back after a few months since COVID-19 started. So, what have I been up to recently? I currently started writing in Medium, but still this blog will be my main blog. I’ll duplicate my post here and put as canonical link to my Medium article. During lockdown, I found myself returning to the same comfort books, and Winnie the Pooh turned out to be deeper than I remembered as a kid. These quotes became my daily reminders.
You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you’ll ever know.
Yes, you are! A great motivation quote to love yourself more. When the pandemic made everything uncertain, this one was the anchor, and it still works on the bad days.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have and one of the best things you can be.
Sometimes, a friend is all you need. A friend can help you lift up your mood, but still it’s your life that depends on your own actions. Friends are the wind in your sails, not the engine.
How do you spell love? You don’t spell it, you feel it.
I agree with this one. Loving doesn’t come with a plan, you just go with it and feel it.
Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.
Go on road trips, and long beach walks. Some people think their job is all; for me I only work to live, not the other way around. This one reframes everything: the point of the day is the day.
If there ever comes a day that we cannot be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.
For me this is more like a love quote, but here it depicts a lifelong friendship. You know lifelong friends are hard to find, especially when you are going into adulthood.
As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen.
Sometimes, sometimes not. It all depends on the person’s point of view.
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
Can be said of a lover, rather than a friend. As a true friend will always be there, and sometimes they don’t say goodbye, most probably see you when I see you.
Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So today is my new favorite day.
Sometimes I think Winnie the Pooh is in love with Christopher Robin. Am I right? The story of the hundred-acre wood is, at its heart, a love story about friendship.
If you live to be 100, I want to be 100 minus 1 day so I would never have to live a day without you.
Same as the above, most of this is a quote that can be said to a lover rather than a friend.
Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.
Yes, I’ve experienced this personally. Smallest things make the most value.
One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always making surprising discoveries.
Ahaha. Clutter and dirt in the attic. Being disorganized means probably you don’t have a plan and will just go with it, and sometimes that is exactly where the surprises live.
We didn’t realize we were making memories; we just knew we were having fun.
Time spent having fun is time well spent. Experience life not just on a small smartphone screen. Go out with your loved ones and enjoy.
I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.
Sometimes it’s NSFW dreams. Always keep safe guys.
🧠 Final Thoughts
That’s all I have guys, hopefully these quotes will also inspire you. A hundred-acre wood full of talking animals should not be this wise, and yet here we are: the simplest sentences, written for children, turn out to explain adulthood better than most self-help books.
Keep the ones that speak to you, print them somewhere you will see them, and remember that a quote is only as good as the day it rescues. Follow me on twitter, instagram, also subs if you like.
