"J'ai peur que si vous regardez une chose assez longtemps elle perde tout son sens"
— Sylvia Plath

Simplified Meaning:
When you focus on something for too long, it becomes less special or important. Imagine staring at a beautiful painting every day. At first, you notice all the intricate details and feel amazed. But over time, it starts to look just like any other picture on the wall. This can happen with anything in life, like a song you love that gets played too often or even special moments that get repeated so much they become routine. To keep things meaningful, it’s good to take breaks and appreciate them with fresh eyes. Balance and variety help maintain the value and significance of the things you care about.
