The quote actually comes from this video:
I was going to tell you what the quote meant to me, and give some long, irrelevant back story as to why it has a place on my blog. Truth is, it just means something to me, and I carry that quote with me everyday. Watching (or reading) John Green always makes me think in a pattern which I usually do not, and as I watched that video to check it was the correct one, I decided that I am not going to tell you what the quote means to me. Words are possibly the most powerful tools in the world. When they are used in the way that John uses them in the end of the video, something spectacular is created. A combination of words each with their own separate meanings come together to form a string of words with a whole added Something, and a different meaning for everyone. I am not telling you what it means to me for one reason, and that is simply because I don't want to spoil it for you. Having read the quote, you probably have your own ideas about what it means, and if I tell you mine, one of the meanings will lose it's magic and cease to be important to one of us.
So here you are, at the end of the most pointless post I have posted so far, suddenly confused about something you probably hadn't noticed in the first place. I apologise.
Enjoy your Saturday, and I hope you are "grateful to be a little boat, full of water, still floating"
Whatever that means.
Jenny
