Dictionaries, spellbooks, novels, newspapers, advertisements;words are everywhere. Many people struggle with expressing themselves:it is difficult speaking words for them, in other...ahem, words. I am one such person; words simply are at less of a disposal than most people. Sometimes, (and more often than not) people use hand gestures to attempt to communicate what they wish. But I think it's quite ironic, because, despite being shy and quiet, I love to sing, and the written word (on the stone, thank you Jack Black), are my fortes. I wonder if, maybe I were to become more outgoing and "entertaining" according to the modern standard, I might finally be able to fit in and make acquaintances better. But can't alwasy have your cake and eat it too. I guess I'll have the flowery language only in my writing and great train of thoughts and the short, simplicity of my spoken word will stay the same. If only, if only...
Alas! Many a word spoken has been wasted or hurtful. Many a word unspoken has been a great poetic expression of life. Our outward appearance and our inward reality never are aligned. However life is not stagnant and life allows growth and change in all we SAY and DO!
