start and finish

there is a saying: you end something the same way you start it.

true, in a way.

for me, usually, everything starts with words. so, how else could it end? words bring people together and tear them apart. a good word stimulates someones curiosity, a bad word can frighten.

we all come and go as we please in our lives, we are all free to think and progress through our existence as we like. we speak to each other and, sometimes, we refuse to do so. maybe because we discover that we need to have more knowledge before we say the words we want to say or maybe just because our words don't feel like the right ones for a certain situation.

nonetheless, our ability to communicate makes us attractive or despicable. it only depends on us, our ability to make ourselves understood by others and our ability to understand the mind processes of others.

as you might have noticed, the first part of this post is entirely based on reason and maybe philosophy.

now for the feeling: words are also used to express our feelings towards a person. the problem lies in the fact that not all feelings can be expressed using words. sometimes it's easier to just show someone how you feel. what you say is not always what you mean. that's not because you don't know how to use words to your advantage. it's simply because your soul doesn't speak with words. it speaks with feelings. and it's your job to translate. maybe it would be easy if you would understand everything you feel but sometimes you just don't know. so you will want to wait until your feelings are clear. NEWS FLASH: that's never going to happen. it's so much better to say what you can say and show what you can show.

so, as a piece of advice: don't hold back on what you feel. say it or show it. it's going to improve your self respect and most probably the respect of others. although sometimes the truth hurts. yes, but it hurts for a shorter period of time then the one you spend alone trying to gather from bits and pieces how someone feels about you. believe me. i've been on that road.
