Week 3: My Favorite Quotation

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.” ~Ed Sheeran
This quote means a lot to me. Maybe because one of my favorite artists said it, maybe because of the poet-like quality of it, maybe even the message behind the words. All I know, is that when I’m feeling down, repeating this over and over again, will make me feel okay again.

One of the reasons why I like this quote is because it is sort-of like my stress reliever. Some people count to 10, some go cry alone, some use a stress ball. All I have to do is repeat this over and over again to myself, and instantly it makes me feel like whatever happened was done with, that it’s not the end of the world.

On top of that, this quote was was written by one of my favorite artists, Ed Sheeran. He is a big inspiration to me, and his story also gives some meaning behind his words. When he first tried to get into the music business, he was instantly rejected. Nobody liked his quirky quality, his bright red hair, the fact that he was different. You had to sound like every other singer in the industry. That was when Ed got very depressed. He started singing his songs alone outside, oblivious to the rest of the world. Then one day, a record dealer heard him pkaying, and immediately asked him to record some songs in the studio. He turned out to be a hit.

So basically, for me, this quote is saying, always follow your dreams and never give up. Everything will be okay in the end.
