What Do Quotes Mean To Us?
PCWallart

Quotes, or even just phrases in general, have many different meanings for various people. To some people, certain quotes can bring them joy and happiness whenever people see and read them. But for other people, that is not the case and some quotes bring up things that may make those people feel sad or upset. Everyone has their own meaning for the quotes that they see, read or hear each day.

Through Facebook, I share many different quotes on my wall that I come across from various pages that I have liked. Some of these pages include Poems Porn, Word Porn, and Poetic Awakening. Of course, there are so many more pages like these three pages on Facebook. I have many reasons for as to why I post quotes from these kinds of pages every day. One of these reasons is that for each one that I post or share, I have found a personal meaning behind. I believe that each quote or phrase that I have found or will come across has a meaning that can be different for each one of us. A personal message that we can all find in the quotes that we see every day.

"You're a rose, be with someone who isn't afraid of your thorns..." -r.h. Sin (A quotes from Poems Porn)

This quote above is one that I believe means that no matter who you are, or what is going on in your life, you are beautiful, and that you should be with someone who sees you for more than your flaws and mistakes. Many people today focus so much on hiding what they think is wrong with them to try and get people to like them for who they are not truly being. However, if people would focus on the positives that make them who they are, they may see that they are beautiful just the way they are without hiding anything. Also that we should be around others who can see who each of us is without worrying about the "thorns" that we all have.

"It's hard to wait around for something you know might never happen; it's harder to give up when you know it's everything you want." -Unknown (another quote from Poems Porn)

This quote can have many different meanings depending on who you are. For myself, it means that there are always things that will be difficult, just like there will always be things that will be more difficult than others. The challenge is to discover which one is more difficult than the other, which is the one to focus on. Mainly because if you focus on what will not happen then you will always be stuck in the same place and never move on. But if you focus on what is more difficult that will lead you where you want to be than you will move forward in your life and achieve what you set out to do.

Every quote and phrase has a different meaning to each and every one of us. What does each one mean to you?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
