Edition

We prone to edit the experiences we’ve been through, either making it into some sort of life-risking adventure or no-big-deal kind of daily routine. Perhaps we did it without realizing the fact that we did or perhaps we just want to make it more interesting and exciting. Whichever it is, it is still undeniable that we do edit our stories in life and certainly, this concept varies from one individual to another. As we speak, we may miss out a word or two, a sentence or two, and sometimes even a scene or two, where the truth lies; and as we pass on the messages, it would be the same either. Another funny thing is, there are times where we show off with other people’s experiences too, as though it is our own, not to mention we even edit it so that it can captures the attention of the listeners more. Each time we repeat the same plotline, each time we repeat the same facial expression and each time we try our very best to describe the so called experiences, picturing them to the third parties, it would be an edited version. It is after all, a way to express ourselves and our lives, to be better instead of just plain.
