a useful kurt vonnegut quote

for those of us who get caught up in perfectionism or cynicism, i have found that “if this isn’t nice, i don’t know what is” is useful to banish the focus on the small details that are hindering my good time - a messy house, the bad seat as a restaurant, a chunky wine glass. because there’s almost always something nice to notice in the moment (though tbh i am not always strong enough to overcome the chunky wine glass).
