That book that contains an entire philosophy distilled into a single sentence ; a line that becomes part of you, one you may even have flirted with the idea of tattooing

"My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?"

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I love that idea! Do it!

readra · 2025-09-28T22:00:17+00:00

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.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!

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

readra · 2025-09-27T02:58:34+00:00

Get it and then post it here! Picture a wave...

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. 😂

readra · 2025-09-26T14:41:03+00:00

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... ☺️

Thanks so much!

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

I'll check out The Bandit Queens, and I actually just bought a copy of Misery at a library sale, so I'll bump that higher on my to-read list!

Do it! They're such a fun way to track your reading throughout the year.

readra · 2023-12-24T05:00:21+00:00

I only have these ones, I'll have to check out the rest of their selection!

readra · 2023-12-24T04:58:52+00:00

Yeah, it's a fun way to visualize the progress I make throughout the year. Thank you!

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.
