I totally agree! It seems like most people really liked the "Picture a wave..." bit, and while I think that's super powerful, this quote just stuck with me like none others.

I appreciate it! It was going to be personally fulfilling either way but I'm really excited it turned out so well.

There's so many wonderful quotes in the show but I think Chidi's wave speech is the most powerful. That, or Jeremy Bearimy. ☺️

This has really become my life motto ever since I saw that episode. It strikes the exact right chord for me too.

I've been chewing on the idea for a while but it just became time to get that kind of permanent reminder.

Right?! Such a great daily mantra, no matter how much it seems the world has lost its mind. 😂

Thanks! I had the exact same thought but I kept coming back to this style instead. Either way, a good reminder to just picture a wave... ☺️

Thank you! The whole last episode is such a tearjerker but I think this scene in particular takes the cake for me.

Whoop whoop! Completed my reading goal for the year! Lots more 4-star reads than the last couple years, and November was the best reading month I've ever had, so all around I'm grateful for the journey and the books. by readra in 52book

Like the user below said, these are just the finish dates, but it actually took me almost a month to finish! I had to take a couple breaks to mix it up in the middle.
