Quote me on that!

In today's blog, I am assigned to pick five quotes that apply to me. There are many quotes that I use in every day life. Things such as: "sucks to suck", or "life goes on". But the quotes I will be writing about today have a little more meaning than giving myself a laugh. These quotes are things that really apply to my life , and most likely other people my age. They're the quotes that lay the lessons on thick so that you get the "big picture" rather than a small image.

Without further a due, here are my quotes.

1. "You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there."
-This quote is very easy to get. Often times, we get caught up in everything life throws at us and we end up breaking down and getting upset because we think we can't handle it. What it really is, is that we're giving up a little too easy. No one ever said life would be easy, did they?

2. "People are more what they hide that what they show."
-I think this is a very common thing in adolescents. A lot of people feel very self-conscious because of who they are and what they're like. So what they do is they change themselves and only show others what they want to see. In a way, this hurts who you really are underneath it all. I promise you that you're perfect just the way you are. Also always remember that those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

3. "The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too."
-I feel like this quote represents a number of people my age. Sometimes we end up liking someone so much that if they don't like us back we feel like we aren't good enough. Basically, our self-esteem takes a big hit. We need to remember that sometimes people aren't going to like you back, and that's just how life goes.


The final two quotes will be quotes that I've made up on my own. Not only do I have to make them up, but I can't have any help with making them up. So, let's get started.

4. "Nothing is infinite."
-This quote has a lot of meaning. We all focus on our looks and trying to be a certain way for everyone else. In all actuality, it won't matter anymore in a few years. You'll get older, you'll start a family, you'll make new friends, etc. Nothing will ever stay the same, ever.

5. "Don't doubt yourself."
-I actually use this quote quite a lot. Everyone has doubted themselves at least once in life when all you need to do is just believe in yourself to get through things.
