We are clichés.....

Someone told something that might actually be some piece of that common knowledge I failed to take in by then, that when we’re about 14 we’re the deepest &most lucid thinkers. A little fact that made me plunge into my own pool of memories & recall what I used to write when I was 14....and... Yes! I used to have it!

What is it that makes us grown-ups less lucid & deep but nevertheless more ... bullshit?!

Experience, some say! Well, I think that experience should only make us richer & ready to stand our grounds at all costs.

Fear? Fear of getting older? Could be....but this doesn’t apply to my case since I am quite young myself! Fear of the unknown? Are we the afraid to simply uncover the ugly truth?

...Which I guess leads me to clichés! My hypothesis is as follows: once we’re passed 14, and as we think more and more shallow, we end up in resuming ourselves to clichés!

I am in love...I’m a fool... (I am afraid I’ll get hurt.)

It’s not U, it’s me... (What the hell was I thinking when we got together?!)

I am too fat, I’m disgusting! (I eat like a cow!)

My boobs aren’t big enough! (I am insecure!)

I’m a woman, I’ve got my needs! (I am unable to do what it takes to satisfy my own needs)

I am an emotional failure! (I don’t feel shit for U!)

I’ll never love again! (Some idiot/bithc fucked up my mental and I still haven’t learn to sniff them liars)

...and so on! It’s a list of fixed sentences in the media that seems endless! And what’s worse, it’s a list of sentences that we use more frequently – as we grow old and complicated- as a disguise, to hide from the ugly truth lurking in the back of our minds.

...too bad that we can never run too far away from our own inner demons! And what’s worse, the only thing that we’re getting out of it all, is that we just go down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City of madness while, still smiling wittily from behind our fixed phrases.

Meanwhile, I go for the truth, keeping it simple, wondering at every simple thing that life brigs my way, letting life surprise me....
