Everybody needs a little affirmation in their day. Or a lot. If you’re looking for a sign, this Instagram account has got what you need. Literally. They post artfully manipulated photos of signage to read as affirmations and reminders for their 1.6 million followers.
The account (run primarily by an artist named Koreen Odiney) is called @werenotreallystrangers – which is also the name of the card game they produce. We’re Not Really Strangers, the game, is described as “a purpose driven card game and movement all about empowering meaningful connections” on their website. It’s clear this company is focused on connection and insight, and they make some pretty compelling art in that realm.
10. The cards
The game itself seems really interesting, and might be good stuff for a date if you want to seriously get to know somebody.
9. Open and shut
Love these jagged, broken lines.
8. Observe and report
I’d definitely stop if I saw this.
7. Got a handle on it
This is a-door-able.
6. One thing at a time
And some things never.
5. Embrace imperfection
This looks like a Dairy Queen sign and now I want ice cream.
4. Keep perspective
You’re only one piece of this.
3. Heavy load inside
Don’t carry that around.
2. The circles of life
Break ’em.
1. Cleverly obscured
We’re never fully visible.
Pretty cool, huh? Be sure to give ’em a follow if you want more. At the time of writing they’ve got nearly 500 posts so if you’re looking for a little boost, that oughta cover you for a while.
