There are certain quotes that simply make their rounds of the internet. They go back and forth on sites like tumblr, sometimes hitting even things like blogger and even other things that appear for generic search criteria like "inspirational" and "emotional" among others. In being so overused, I can't help but wonder if there is really any truth to them or not.
They speak of incredible worlds and majestic feelings, of grand gestures and inexplicable compassion. And maybe in our finest moments, we really do see them. But on the general scale of everyday life, they go either unnoticed or buried under the piles of worry and rubble that build up around our lives. We get buried in meaningless nonsense and forget the emotions that lie underneath.
As with everything else in life, there are good quotes and bad ones. Certain ones put to words sentiments we could not have otherwise expressed, while others toss out ideas casually that make no logical sense. It's interesting to see how much I've changed if only by how much I find myself agreeing or disagreeing with certain quotes over time. It's a peek into the past. Knowing that something meant so much earlier that means nothing now is odd. It's so hard to pinpoint that transition. And oftentimes, as with everything else, it makes little to no sense (like this blog post; hint: I'm going to go to bed now).
