Boulders of Truth

“”Never give up!
Always be yourself.”
It’s gonna suck hearing that over and over as you get older
But as stereotypes start with a grain of truth
Cliches begin with a boulder”

– George Watsky, Letter to My 16-Year-Old Self

“Time will tell”, “A diamond in the rough”, “Haste makes waste”, “Time heals all wounds”, “All that glitters isn’t gold”. They’re lines we hear over and over in life. They become a quip and lose the meaning behind them. The line above from Watsky is one of my favorites. It’s a reminder that there’s a reason you hear these lines over and over again. There’s a tremendous amount of truth behind them. It’s good to step back every now and then and appreciate the meaning behind the common sayings we hear all the time.
