I found this quote while looking through Tumblr and it spoke to me. I see it as a metaphor for people, honestly- and it's something I can say that I personally appreciate. Before I go off on a tangent about this quote, I'd like to give my interpretation of it. Naturally, I may be wrong, but I see it as a metaphor for someone who is strong and independent; hard to get, even. I have many friends who play hard to get with boys/girls, but I think the quote is conveying that message in a different light.
Instead of "playing hard to get" in a negative way, such as being bothersome, I think that the quote means to display the person as someone who is strong enough to hold themselves up along with others, but despite being wanted by many has enough standards where they seem to "slip through the fingers" of their suitors. I don't quite know if this quote suits me... I'm independent and carry my own issues along with the issues of others, yes; but I don't think I'm "hard to get", really. I'm pretty open and accepting of people, and while I have standards, I refuse to allow them become discriminatory. When reading the quote, upon further reflection... it almost seems as though it hints towards discrimination. Who knows. I may be reading too far into it. I like the quote as a whole, but analyzing it makes it seem... off, in a way. Maybe it's just because I don't like the idea of "playing hard to get" because it's happened to me before.... but that's an entirely different blog post. - Maddie
