“Don't choose happiness, because choosing happiness is a privilege for yourself that we don't always have. We can't always choose to be happy every day. That's not always in our ability, but we can choose happiness for others, and we can choose kindness. And so just choosing kindness will inevitably make you happier.”
-Jennifer Moss
