Okay, okay- so as cliché as it sounds I have to admit- I am baby-crazy. Whenever I am walking down the street, shopping in a store, watching a TV show, sitting in a park- all I notice are babies. Pretty boys, breathtaking girls, standout dressers- all passersby do not warrant my glance or consideration, save for babies. I notice every single baby in my vicinity, regardless of any and all inordinate circumstances. Yet I am confident in my knowledge that I am in no way ready to have a baby of my own. So how does this make sense? I ask myself on an almost daily basis.

Every time I hear “carpe diem,” or any message related to “seize the day,” I shudder at its utter cliché quality. My problem doesn’t lie in the message’s meaning, but in the fact that that it’s just too short. The phrase does not even demand explanation, and so people just schlep it around like nobody’s business. Without an explanation, I don’t feel any substance in the meaning of “carpe diem.” But despite my aversion to this well-worn cliché, I have created my own explanation of “carpe diem” that I actually like. In other words, personalizing a way to think about an old cliché has made the cliché meaningful and persuasive.
