Sometimes life is like trying to find your car keys while also holding your car keys and crying because you’re late to something you didn’t even want to go to. That’s when you need quotes.
Not just any quotes, but the good ones—the kind that slap you in the face gently and whisper, “You’ve got this, weirdo.” (And I say “weirdo” with deep affection because weirdos are just delightfully unfiltered geniuses in yoga pants.)
Inspirational quotes can’t make your bed or pay your taxes, but they can give you that little nudge to believe—just for a second—that maybe you’re not entirely screwing this whole life thing up.
And sometimes, that’s all we need: a tiny spark, a little perspective, or a reminder from Oprah that you are, in fact, magic in human form.
So if you’re feeling about as motivated as a cat in a sunbeam (which is to say: not at all), scroll through these quotes. Print them out. Yell them at your houseplants.
Put them on your vision board next to that weird magazine cutout of a beach house you fully plan to own with no current plan on how. Whatever works.
And hey—maybe you’ll find one that resonates so hard you have to text it to your best friend or stick it on your fridge or tattoo it on your soul (or, like, your wrist, if you’re more into temporary commitment).
There are quotes here from badass icons like Dolly, Oscar Wilde, and Serena Freaking Williams.
So yeah, it’s basically like assembling your own personal hype squad of literary legends and glittery motivational unicorns.
Ready? Breathe in. Let the words soak in. Then go be the chaotic, glorious, imperfect miracle you were always meant to be.
Absolutely. Here are 50 quotes about life, rewritten in the style of Jenny Lawson—equal parts inspiring, unhinged, hopeful, and very real.
They’re like motivational posters that also know how to cry in the shower and still get stuff done.
