cliche is a weird word.

'dear god, thank you for this food, bless it to our bodies. amen.'
'how are you?' 'good how are you?' 'good.'
'i'll pray for you.'

cliches. let me start off by saying i dont like the word cliche. it sounds weird. its spelled weird. and i dont get why theres an accent over the 'e', it bugs me, therefore im not putting it there.

anyway, i feel like people are so cliche all the time. we fall into a routine and then never change. for example, i paint my nails every thursday night and do my eyebrows every sunday night. why do i do this? because i did them once, i got in a routine, and i never stopped.

if i were to take a poll, i gurantee you that most people only pray before dinner and or bed. why is that? and usually when people pray before a meal, we're so hungry and wanna eat that all we say is thanks for the food, amen. do we even know who we're talking too? the creator and sustainer of the universe and all we abruptly say is thanks for the grub, amen. i wanna know who the person was that came along and said..'we should only thank god for dinner.' we should talk to god ALL the time, not once a day and not only because it's cliche. we should do it because we WANT too.

another annoying cliche, (other than the word itself) goes something like this, 'o hey how are you?' 'o im good, and you?' 'im good.' ok what kind of conversation is that? like for real, you might as well not have even had it. it drives me nuts when someone says, 'how are you?' while walking away. they might as well have said, 'im gonna ask you how you are but i dont reallycare so im just gonna walk away.' im guilty of it too, we all ask people that simple question yet never really care what their answer is. and when someone asks us the question in return, we give the one-word, cliche answer-good. majority of the time we say good just so the person will be satified and walk away. we need to strive to be a people with loving hearts who truly care how someone is doing.

lastly, 'ill pray for you.' im gonna tell you write now that i have said that phrase numerous times and havnt meant it or done it. i think its something we say just so we feel good about ourselves, when really we should be caring about the person we said it too, and striving to pray for them as often as we can. prayer shouldnt be taken lightly yet it is such a cliche phrase that so many people just say it because they feel it as the right thing to say at the moment.

i dont want to be cliche. i dont want my life to be cliche. i dont want to go through the motions of painting my nails on a thursday and doing my eyebrows every sunday. i want my life to be genuine-not cliche...because after all, cliche is a weird word.
