Clichés

Until today, I never understood the mantra-like effectiveness of clichés. I used clichés as a joke, to show off my familiarity with my acquired language. Yet today, after agreeing to an interview with a staffing specialist, I had to start seriously contemplating going back to work and the emotions it stirred up in me. Curiously enough, I found solace in clichés such as “All good things must come to an end”. They enabled me to play down my emotions. I realized it is an effective way to keep emotions in check while feeling I was going through a shared experience.
