too cliche

the thing about writing is the fact that everything has already been said. if that's the case, why bother talk about anything else? when writing has become more than mere utterance of words and an expression of known ideas, you will probably understand why.

when you write, you take a chance at giving form and substance to people, events, and experiences, which could very well do without anyone writing about them. talking about anything--people, ideas, hopes and aspirations, fears, etc is a celebration of life in itself.

there is so much about life to write about, if only to celebrate the blessing of being alive. no amount of uncertainty should keep anyone from enjoying the here and now.

over the many summers that have passed, you come to realize, how much differently you see things from ten summers ago. while your perceptions change, your values should remain. the thoughts pour in and you think everything has indeed become too cliche. things that have become overly familiar or commonplace, tend to be taken for granted, if not completely forgotten.


the same is true in people. when you try to remember important people in your life, from your family to your friends, perhaps even the few significant acquaintances you've made, there will always be those whom you know, will always be there when you need them (sometimes even before you ask). but you can never be too sure; people, unlike ideas, can grow tired even against their will. which is why in all your relationships there is no such thing as too cliche.
