Which location are you referring to specifically? I grew up going to OG millburn location but lived recently closer to Montclair location and their sloppy j’s and the godfadda there were even better IMO

Nice! Aside from being a great quote, I found the artwork on the print to be very peaceful. I only found one old Etsy post of someone who sold this specific print and it was a bad picture. Other than that couldn’t find a trace of this specific print. Nice job turning it into a digital print.

Edit: after second glance, you can slightly see the reflection of me on the frame lol. If you’d like to get it perfect I can take another picture and keep any reflection out of the picture! Lmk

This is definitely gonna sound cheesy but remember you really are one of a kind. We are all so nuanced. Some people spend an entire lifetime without ever truly answering the question, “who am I?” And sometimes it doesn’t matter what the answer is as long as you try your best to be a good person to yourself and others. You’re important and awesome and I’m sure you’ll find the clarity and peace you’re looking for and deserve. Keep hope, fellow redditor. Glad this post helped.

Happy to have even one other person find comfort in this poem like I did! Thanks for the well wishes.

Neat, thanks for history lesson. I’ve been meaning to google them since I found this today so this was a perfect summary of who did this print.

Sorry if I sounded at all preachy. Maybe what I said is common knowledge but I’m in early 30’s and have never really been able to connect the dots to living a consistently happy life so far in my adult life. Cheers to trying, friend.

Same. I usually am a cynic when it comes to quotes like this and think most are cheesy but this one hit home at a time when I needed to hear it.

Thank you for saying thank you.

Hope you’re doing alright

Me too. When I get down, I get real down and it’s so hard to shake. But I think breaking the chains that our negative emotions cling to us with is something that definitely can be learned and become habit. Reading this quote made me conscious of this and that’s a step. And I’m trying to start small and not let the everyday problems get me into a negative place and be aware when I feel my negative emotions taking over. And by doing that I think I’ll be able to better handle myself and my outlook next time something traumatic happens in my life.

That’s always a good reminder to get. Simple but sometimes easy to forget.

Thanks for nice comments (and caddyshack quotes) everyone! First comment on this post was pretty rude which made me think it wasn’t going to resonate with anyone, but I think it did with at least some people and I’m happy it did. Stay strong y’all 💙

I agree. While it’s perfectly fine to have negative emotions, you can’t let them rule your life. That is no way to live. Gotta always keep fighting and sometimes fighting means finding a way to smile during rough times.

I don’t interpret it that way. When my uncle died, I experienced all those negative emotions you said. And I think what this poem ultimately is saying is just to try and be strong amidst those feelings, not necessarily to just try and cover it up with a smile like you’re implying.

Anyway, I might delete this, I just wanted to share something that motivated me to be a bit happier today, but maybe it’s an awful poem and most people will interpret your way. Sorry!
