Everyone is missing out on the good shit in life focusing only on the forest but not the fine details, the forest only exists because of millions of small beautiful details.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m on the spectrum but I hope it isn’t, I wish everyone could experience the same joy I get from all the small things.
I know some people at work who use it simply cause they know it, but it never translates to anything of value from them. They just say it, amd say it, amd say it. So annoying.
It’s also occasionally lobbed at me as a criticism from losers who clearly are jealous at my attention to detail.
I find this true of most colloquialisms, people don’t really know what they mean, but they’ve heard it before and recognize it as a thing you can say.
