I don't know if anyone else is feeling this way, but I am sick of inspirational quotes. If I want to be a loser for a few weeks, let me and don't make me feel bad by posting your quote about how "success comes to those who work for it", because guess what? The only thing I'll be working on for the next week and a half is this season of "American Horror Story," and the only successful part about that for me is when I will finish it and start the next one. So, to relieve some stress that these quotes have put on me, here are seven quotes that just seem to grind my gears a bit.

1. "Never frown, even when your upset. You don't know who could be falling in love with your smile."

This quote is decorated on some board in my mom's house, and let me just say that as cute as it sounds, it's totally ridiculous. If I'm mad, let me be mad. If I want to cry, I'll let Niagara Falls flow out of my eye sockets. Don't tell me how to feel my emotions, you stupid wall decoration.

2. "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take."

Okay, yes, this is about as inspirational as it gets, but you know what? I don't regret that one time I could have jumped over the ledge and ran onto the field of Neyland Stadium mid-game, but chose not to; however, I definitely regret the time I stood idly by and let my brother put a Walmart cart in the bed of his truck and drive away. Sometimes chances are just made for us to prove if we're really as stupid as life is accusing us of being.

3. "The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday."

Is this one just a joke? Because let me tell ya, I'm definitely going to try my hardest to be better than that one guy I dated who wore bro-tanks and gym shorts to fancy outings. I'll also try to be better than that girl who has led on every guy she's ever encountered for the past six years just to crush their hearts. Trust me, I've got way more people than just myself to try and be better than.

4. "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."

Not always true folks. Live life for yourself! Eat that whole chocolate pie and don't offer to share with anyone! Spend all day in bed and worry about whether you're mentally up for hanging out with friends! Of course be kind to others and help when you can, but worry about yourself before you worry about most people who don't appreciate what you have to offer them.

(Bonus quote, just because it perfectly grasps the concept of how I feel about quotes.)

5. "I will go anywhere as long as it's forward."

So, basically, you won't go anywhere? But what if the path to get where you need to go was a few miles back? Oh, no, we won't turn around, we'll just pick a new destination. That's fine, everything's fine, I love being lost.

6. "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's learning how to dance in the rain."

Well, I left my umbrella at home and my rain boots are still on back order from Macy's, so until they come in, let me sit here and sulk about the fact that I just failed my English paper, OK?

7. "Enjoy the little things in life, because one day you'll look back and realize they were big things."

OK, this one I sort of agree with. I always knew that one time Olive Garden put six breadsticks in the basket instead of five would be the best day of my life.

OK, so quotes aren't that terrible, but it just felt really nice to rant about them for a while. I mean, you could be one of those people who post a quote with a picture of a minion next to it, and that would be terrifying, but that's all for a different article and a different rant.

Happy Quoting!
