66 days since I last wrote a blog.
Why? because I couldn't find the words to write something meaningful, something deep, something great.
Same song and dance each time.
I'd begin to write with so many thoughts in mind but never seemed to have the time to get them all out on paper the way I had pictured in my head.
It took me 66 days to realize something.
People often think that if they don't have something grand to say that it isn't good enough, that others will judge them for what they have said- or lack there of.
I disagree.
Think before you speak is only applicable 50% of the time, the majority of that time is conversing with your parents, teachers, co-workers etc. But the other half of the time don't think- just speak. You don't have to have everything you say planned out and rehearsed 32 times in your head to get it "right".
Often we miss out on the opportunities we are given to say something- anything, because we get caught up in all the words and can't seem to find the things we want to say, so we say nothing at all.
The thing is: Words are just words until you make them mean something to you.
None of this could mean a thing to any of you, but that doesn't matter because it means something to me.
I'd rather write something small that means something to me then write a story about why I couldn't say everything that I wanted to.
It takes approximately 2.3 seconds to ask somehow how their day was. Those are words in their purest form. Those are words that mean the most. Those are words that matter.
You'd be surprised at how much those few words make all the difference to that one person, I promise.
In this life there are too many words to be spoken but plenty of time to choose the best ones to say.
