Communication

A truly terrific friend-- of mine recently got me a gorrilla pod, so I've been mounting my camera everywhere.

 

I don't know if I'm getting better at knowing when to shut up, or if I've become apathetic about letting others know what I think. Am I apathetic because I think they're apathetic about what I have to say? Or am I apathetic because I understand how varied their perspective is, and the fact that attempting to get my ideas across will only prove futile?

 

 

 

 

Whether it's a sticky note, text, body language, or phone conversations until 4 a.m, what's in your head, the feelings you attempt to get across, will get lost. The instant you fit your emotion into the definition of a word it's sincerity has been tampered with. When that word is confined to writing or vibrating molecules in the air the meaning continues to spew out, forever lost in the universe. By the time the person you're attempting to reach get's this mutilated communication everything is all wrong. Then you have to trust their translation of this impure feeling you're trying so very hard to give them isn't further botched. Their interpretation based on their experience and perspective is sure to be completely foreign to what you had originally intended.

 

 

 

 

So, I'm not sure if I fight their apathy or this idea of twisted communication. Or if I fight at all.
