reality/expectations

"There is a mathematical formula for happiness: reality divided by expectations. There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality or lower your expectations." — Jodi Picoult (Nineteen Minutes)

let us.


Let’s play hopscotch in malls. Let’s drive fast with the top down. Let’s turn up the music as loud as it’ll go. Let’s put a couch on an island in the middle of the freeway and wave at everyone on their way to work. Let’s hug strangers in parking lots. Let’s hand out secret messages at traffic lights. Let’s make lists of all the things that make us smile and tick them off, one at a time. The world will carry on without you and me when we’re gone. Let it carry on without us, today.
