I'm just saying that if the English translation were the original language, people would say it looks like a young person with an image in his head of what good writing is supposed to look like, trying to imitate it. Perhaps a bit too hard.
I wouldn't have been so critical if I knew it was just a random diary writing. I thought it came from a pop song or something. And I think most pop music is just a string of cliches and vapid expressions.
It's OK for a random person to write like this, but I don't think it's OK for someone who makes millions of dollars a year to write like that.
So please forgive me for my criticism.
