| a sweet goodbye and departure
an end to my love affair with internet diaries, cyberspace secrets, electronic emotions, hidden yet open expression
it has nurtured me enough
into a more mature human
no longer a need
ready to be independent
off on my own | | |
| I get so absorbed in
the strange, the weird, the awkward, the abnormal
so caught up in how they are, why they are
in an indifferent, non-judgemental way
is it normal to be so curious about them
or am I abnormal for wondering so much about them | | |
| In response to a friend's facebook blog:
Yeah, I doubt that most people are purely liberal or purely conservative (etc..) when they they put those labels on themselves. Then again doesn't that apply to most other labels/words/categories? That's why language/words/communication is something that's always perplexed me. It's amazing how many different meanings any one word can have depending on it's context, the person using the word, the tone it's spoken in, etc....
Take for example, a word as simple is "friend". The word is introduced into our vocabulary within the first few years of our lives, yet its meaning really isn't that simple. When do you consider someone a friend? One person's defination or qualifications of being his friend is different from another person's definition of being a friend. There's really an infinate amount of levels of friendship; when you think about it, there's no fine line between friend and non-friend, is there?
I guess the point I'm getting at is that for most words there's a whole gradient of definitions that a word could mean, so words have to be used in a very general sense. When you chose to label yourself "conservative" then you're just trying to give people an idea of where you stand. Then it's up to the audience to figure out where in that infinite range of "conservative" you stand. | | |

I don't think I understand the meaning of any word.
I don't understand how to communicate.
I don't understand groups of words. sentences.
I don't understand a lot of things.

| I just had one of those "whoa" moments. All the sudden it just clicks and I see the world differently. Reality. And that was only one tiny piece. Imagine all the "whoa" moments I need to have before seeing the entire world clearly. I'm only a teeny tiny person in this huge world with plenty to experience before I have the slightest idea of how this world works and my place in it. What does it take to speed up the rate of "whoa" moments. I want to know truth. But what is the rush? Does time really place a limit on me or is time just a self-created pressure? Where does that sense of urgency come from? What does it mean to be running out of time? | | |
