Fridge magnet quotes
A little fun with fridge magnets today☺️
In a world full of fridge magnet quotes.
That I insert into my life.
I find they lose their meaning,
And are jumbled phrases that I live by.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
You are worth your weight in gold.
Don’t look back when moving forward.
Always strive to reach your goal.
Sometimes I simply want to rest,
And observe the world go by.
But the magnet quotes inside my head,
Keep telling me to try.
Try harder to be better,
Try harder to forgive,
Try harder to be more than,
Try harder to simply live.
Keep calm and carry on.
Live, laugh and love some more.
Calm days follow storms you know.
Not every knock, is on a door.
Feed the body, feed the mind.
Set boundaries and get some rest.
Remember there is always a sunrise.
I’m sure you get the gist.
I find these blasted fridge magnet quotes,
In everything I see,
From eating at the table,
To the messages that I read.
Yet lately, I have noticed,
That I use these quotes too,
As a way to express my feelings,
And offer a door to walk through.
So see those fridge magnet quotes,
And remember to look behind.
To see if they actually are helpful,
And truly are aligned
There is no simple fix in life.
Oh there I go again,
Creating more fridge magnet quotes,
That I hope you see beyond.

Ann, this was such a playful, profound, and clever piece—woven with warmth, wit, and a deeper truth beneath the surface. I smiled at the light-hearted tone, but what truly stayed with me was the quiet reflection on how these familiar phrases shape our inner voice. You’ve captured that delicate tug between motivation and exhaustion so beautifully—and how, sometimes, even the clichés we roll our eyes at can still carry us through.
What begins as fun quickly deepens into something more meaningful. The way you thread these well-worn quotes into a poetic exploration of pressure, self-reflection, and emotional honesty is so clever. Your gentle humour softens the truth: that while these sayings can sometimes overwhelm rather than uplift, we still reach for them in search of meaning. It’s meta, relatable, and quietly powerful. Thank you for turning something so everyday into something so tender and true. 🥰❤️✨️
