words
And since we are on the subject of words, there are some words some people use that I love and would like to steal the essence behind them… here are some of them and I’ll add on to the list when more come to my mind
Fion: “Waiiiiiiiit!”
Danny: “So?”
Mark: “Lovely.”
Dad: “Sure!”
Anthony: “No.” and “Zahee!!”
Sabrina: hmm… this is a tough one. I love everything that comes out of this woman’s mouth… let’s go with “awww..” for now.
Eric: … I am trying to decide between… “awesome!” and “it’s business time!” I think I am going to stick with the later.
not lost in translation
Is communication really that hard? or are we just not listening? Do we choose to listen to the words, take them at face value, or do we pay closer attention and listen with our hearts? What really hurts sometimes is not that you don’t get it, but how you don’t care enough to understand, because if you do, it is really not hard. We are not so different from each other. And if you think, just because you don’t say it with words, the viciousness wouldn’t leak through, the bad intentions wouldn’t be clear, you are wrong. And if you think, just because you don’t say it with words, I wouldn’t know that you love and adore me, you are wrong… words could be nice, they could help clarify things, but more often than not, they just distract us from our true intentions… so… choose your words carefully, but choose your intentions even more carefully.
