I did like it. I wouldn’t say I loved it. Maybe I really liked it. Maybe I kind of really liked it. Maybe I liked it a little more than I should have. I’ve liked things like this before, but I’d hesitate to call it love. Maybe if I was in a better mood, I would have liked it more. I’ve liked things like this before, but I would never call it love. It might be contradictory if I said I liked this, and not that. I was more forgiving of its flaws. I’ve been more judgmental before. Would it be odd if I didn’t love this? Would people question my history if I liked this, and not that? After all, a lot of people liked this. I could just agree. If I decided to love this, it would be discovered by more people. Nobody would care if I didn’t like it. Then again, if I only liked it, but say I loved it, then maybe they would be more apt to discover it. Just liking something doesn’t make headlines. It doesn’t turn heads. They want to love something. I should give them what they want. If they love it, then they’ll love me too. But wait! If they hate it, they’ll hate me too. Maybe I should just really like it. It’s not as hyperbolic. I wouldn’t be setting the expectations too high. If I only really liked it, not loved it, then we could all agree that it wasn’t perfect, and we could just settle somewhere in the middle. Those who loved it more than me would just think they were special, and that they knew something I didn’t. They would feel pleasantly surprised. That might be better for everyone. Even if they hate it, I would just think that I knew something they didn’t. I wouldn’t trust them, and they wouldn’t trust me. Or I could just be honest. I could just give it what it deserves. What does it deserve? I’m not an expert! How should I know? Isn’t it all too subjective? Would I have liked it two years ago? Would I like it the same two years from now? Does it really matter? Isn’t this about me? My decision would just get averaged in with the rest. The average is the best barometer. It removes the extremes. It takes the consensus. The luke-warm. The agreed upon likeness. Then no one could say it was over-rated or underrated. It would be fair. It would be true. It would be
