What can I say


It is tricky knowing how much to say, not wanting to give too much away, but also to get your thoughts and opinions across that are brewing or developing in your head.  The next challenge is to say it out loud exactly how you’ve got it stored in your head; the replication of it exactly in the words how you have thought of it. Finally and probably most challenging and often I find the most useless part of the whole scenario is that you have to get the person or parties to understand these words in exactly the way you believe them, and want them to sound. This may never work as it is evident that everyone has different associations with words you say, and language in general. It could be true that two people could share the same associations with some words; however it is unlikely that these words would be many. Therefore the level of words importance, the type of emotion captured and the reaction and consequences can vary significantly between two people. For these reasons maybe talking out loud and off the top of your head are potentially very risky and bad ideas. Despite this, spontaneity does offer the advantages of quickness and it provides realism and genuineness to a scenario, where any long delay might signify editing or thinking too hard, which would in sinew some form of grading and competition or value system added to a conversation or series of thoughts, finally spontaneity means you haven’t got time to get muddled in your head and say the wrong words.

I don’t know what is better, to understand your own head, or your own words, as my head and words tell me different things. I keep having to rely on my brain and hope that my words and speech come back to me like some re-awakening volcano.

Don’t fret too much because by the time someone has understood your words another person who has translated them differently has forgotten the beginning parts and in all this time anyway the song has certainly moved on.
