Desiderata

Okay So I am of the firm belief that there are certain words we should live by...they're different for everyone but I definitely like these ones.

Actually my roomie gave this to me my first stint in IP, underlined and in purple/pink/magenta whatever you want to call it are my three favourite lines, the three that never fail to bring me peace.

Disiderata...so there's a whole bunch of stories about where this came from, some are highly romantacized (like a church in like Virgina or something in 1620). Truth be told it was written by Max Erhmann in 1927. Desiderata is latin for "desired things"
