get used to
don’t get used to
don’t get used to
don’t even get too used to (things)
if you get too used to things
you won’t be moved
if you aren’t moved
your life is over
nothing is worse than becoming too used to things
always the first time
always the first impression
no matter how many times
you do it
it’s the first time for today
because it’s the first time
you tremble with excitement
and that’s all right
it’s natural to tremble
when it’s the first time
– mitsuo aida
i transcribed the above from the mitsuo aida gallery in tokyo. the format and some words might be off because a) i wrote it in my little notebook, b) i wrote it in a rush because there was a swarm of visitors surrounding me, and c) now i can’t read my handwriting. but i love the gist of the poem. never get too used to anything because that’s what living is all about. i think it’s especially applicable to relationships. i was definitely thinking about mgs who i will never get used to 🙂
