Clichés

My significant other and I had a discussion on clichés. She hates them and typically calls me out when using them, the most recent being “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. While I get that they can sound trite and boring, I think many clichés have an element of truth to them. So perhaps when someone calls you out on the cliché, maybe its because they are upset that you pointed out an unpleasant truth?

So, when someone gives you shit, make fertilizer (or a blog post).
