Writes..."Always"



""always" may be the most hyberbolic word in the english language. and i don't like hyperbole. people who use it a lot tend to exaggerate. and people who exaggerate tend to lie. people like to say something was the "greatest" or the "craziest" or the "best" when talking about stuff. and love is no different. we want the person we love to be the love of our lives, so we use "always" even when most of the time it doesn't turn out to be. if i told a woman i'd love her "always" and then she was gone, like every other "...-est" word, "always" was an exaggeration. not a lie, not that we didn't mean it when we said it but in the end, still an exaggeration on the situation on both of our parts. "always". i need to be more careful about that, in every way that i use the word."
