"It's just a figure of speech!" id·i·om /ˈidēəm/ Noun: A group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., raining cats and dogs). A form of expression natural to a language, person, or group of people: "he had a feeling for phrase and idiom".

What matters most to us in the world. Sometimes we think that we know, until faced with certain situations that leave us walking away with new understandings of things.

If those things weren't in order then most likely others things in my life weren't as well. I don't think that it was so much that I was so materialistic, but that I put alot of my self worth into those things. Now, after experiencing life more, my perception of some things has changed.
