say what i mean and mean what i say

“Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‘infinitely’ when you mean ‘very’; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.”

This is something I’m terrible at. I didn’t realize how much I relied on such phrases such as “this is the best(worst)thing EVER!” and “this is the (insert any adjective here) thing in the WHOLE WORLD!” to convey my emotions. I knew they were not really accurate, it never really bothered me. I have now come the realization that I am capable of stating my opinions without resorting to cliches and hyperboles.

It’s time for me to say what I mean and mean what I say.
