The above quote is attributed to Robert Frost, and I believe I've mentioned it in a previous post. Today, I wanted to re-visit it and give my thoughts and own interpretation of what I believe it means. Obviously, the cut-and-dry message is that life goes on, and that that's the most important thing you can learn in life... and while I don't disagree, I believe there's something slightly more to be had with this quote.
I believe Frost was trying to say that though life can teach you many things through various trials, it's important to look past it and remember that regardless of struggle, life goes on. Obviously, you'll learn many lessons in life- however, it's relatively common knowledge that some of our greatest lessons are hard-earned and come at some expense to us. It's impossible to live your life without suffering a little bit. Pain and struggle are inevitable; what lessons you choose to take from the struggles are not. That being said, while it's important to learn from whatever life puts you through, it's more important to remember that regardless of what you go through, no matter how bad things may get, life will go on. I know that I've already been through a lot of trial and tribulation in my life, and I'm just 15! Life hits us at different points, and that's okay. I'm sure everyone can soundly say they've had a day where they've wanted to sit down and give up. Some of us may have even endured weeks or months of this thinking. It's sad, but it's life- and as Frost says, it goes on. I don't quite know where I was headed with this post. I think I just wanted to clarify the quote, because I fully agree with it. If you've got any additional thoughts relating to this quote, please leave them in the comments! I love hearing feedback, and seeing things from a different perspective. - Maddie
