SANDCASTLES FALL LIKE ASHES OF CIGARETTES.
This quote could be interpreted many different ways, but to me it reads like a correlation between the innocence of a child like substance, such as a sandcastle and the disappointments we experiences as adults, the ashes of cigarettes. Many of us can relate to being a child and getting excited about the smallest of things, like building a sandcastle. And the minor heartbreak we would feel when that sandcastle was ruined, whether by an unexpected wave from the ocean or by a friend accidentally knocking it over. When that sandcastle falls it feels like a failure, all of that time building it was for nothing. We just watch hopelessly as it crashes down. And as we're older the sandcastle becomes something less trivial, and the ashes of cigarettes falling down can be related to bigger problems. Children to adults, Sandcastles to cigarettes. We all grow up and as we do our prospective changes, as do our problems. Whether its a sandcastle falling, or a cigarette burning to ashes, we must remember that every problem seems so important in the moment, but it will soon be done and replaced with something else, and with each problem comes a lesson learned.
