THIS QUOTE!

I have a number of quotes that resonate with me soundly that it's quite a task to pick just one out as my favourite one.

Mostly, quotes I like don't always come from popular persons or in proper language. I could just be passing by and hear someone use it and it just makes so much sense to me and speaks to me. I could just be reading a book and the words strilke to me as one with so much meaning that they should be considered in such a way.

Somehow, the one I'd share right now isn't my best one but just the one that came to mind immediately I saw the prompt topic and one that just means the right things to me at this point in time of my life.

It us "e no gst as e wan be wey e never be before." Like I said, stuff doesn't always come in English. Nonetheless, for the sake of those who do not know nor understand pidgin Enhlish, it could translate to mean, "whatever is happening now has happened before," or "there's nothing new under the sun." Which is true, by the way.

Most times, I see trends happen and things done and said that I could trace, maybe faintly, to long ago. Some of which i could tell have happened from looking at pictures and reading books that had been written long ago, a number of which my parents and much older persons can testify to. From reading Bible stories too, I can relate certain events then to this present day, some of them which were even foretold. And some other instances.

I think that the first time that i came across this quote was when a cousin of mine had made a post and somehow included it. For the context in which it was used, it made so much sense, had me thinking and somehow taught me something vital which I need to move through life.

Mostly, it's used in a context to mean that whatever one is facing now will pass. It's like saying that someone somewhere has passed through that same type(or even worse) of issue as you are in and they came out of it eventually and so you should hold onto that hope and get some strength that you'll be fine in the end too. No need to worry or fret. After all, last year's problems seemed like they would end you, but hey, look how it's all in the past and only deserving of the shake of your head and a laugh. Change happens.

Thanks for gracing this post.
