"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don'tmatter and those who matter don't mind!"- Dr. Seuss

Words.

There are many ways in which one can choose to interpret words. Words have many definitions and there are many feelings behind the ways in which they are used. 

Saying I love you, for example, can have many meanings. Love like Christ loves, love like you love your spouse or children,  love like you love your friends or enemies. Love like your favorite outfit, piece of art, or those new shoes still in the box! 

Like spoken words, written words are often even harder to interpret. You can't see the smile or tears that someone may be donning while writing these words. You can't hear the emotion behind what is being "said". 

I love to write. This blog is like a journal, only open to the public. A place I can try to put into words all the emotions, thoughts, and feelings that I am currently feeling. Sometimes I can portray those feelings perfectly and sometimes I may stumble to get out exactly what I am trying to "say". Nonetheless, it is written words. And written words have many meanings. How I feel about what I am writing may not be how the reader may understand it. Either way, I am the author, I am not perfect, and my words are feelings from within that only I can truly understand.

Often I am asked why I share the most private of my thoughts with the world. I feel like I have nothing to hide, and if nothing else there may be someone out there that can relate to the emotions and stories. Again, while one could possibly relate, they still may not know just why those words are written. I tend to be overly open, and very candid. Nothing staged or posed therefore leaving raw thought to be digested. And sometimes that raw thought, is not digested the way in which it was intended. But, that is the controversy with both spoken and written word. 

Many ways, many different ways words, like humans can be understood or misunderstood.
