| 0:00.0 | Now tell me, how do you feel when you see an inspirational quote? Let me guess, uninspired. |
| 0:07.6 | Yeah, but that wasn't always the case. Think back to a decade ago. How did you feel when you saw an |
| 0:13.3 | inspirational quote? I can tell you how you felt. You felt inspired. Yeah, you did. You felt inspired. |
| 0:40.1 | A decade ago, we loved inspirational quotes. We slapped them on our t-shirts, on our notebooks, we got tattoos of them, all over our bodies. We loved inspirational quotes. And then all of a sudden one day, we all collectively woke up and decided we don't like inspirational quotes anymore. |
| 0:45.5 | They're cringe. They're overplayed. They're pretentious. They're cliche. |
| 0:50.1 | And it became this sort of guilty pleasure. |
| 0:54.0 | If you liked inspirational quotes, you shouldn't tell people about that. |

| 1:35.1 | From what I can remember, they were delightful. They inspired thought. There was nothing remotely |
| 1:41.9 | bad about them. We've all become far too judgmental, cynical, and like cool. |

| 1:53.2 | Like, we need to get back into inspirational quotes. |
| 1:56.1 | Like, I think it's about time that we get back into inspirational quotes. |
| 2:00.7 | And honestly, there's a chance that |
| 2:02.7 | inspirational quotes might become trendy again, just considering that 2010s are going to start |
| 2:08.6 | coming back soon. And we all know how we felt about an inspirational quote in 2010. We loved it. |
| 2:15.1 | So I don't know, like maybe, maybe I'm just right on time and maybe inspirational |
