To go from Vulnerable to Venerable

I am someone who is deeply connected to my emotions. My heart and head have a close relationship! Hmm... Good or bad, we shall discuss. (I also have a creeping suspicion that I would actually enjoy studying psychology… but that's besides the point.) Normally I would talk in a positive tone, but ain’t it hard to get through to people without talking negatively? Here’s an exercise, try not saying, that’s not nice, not working, not good, not ___fill blank here___ for a whole day, and grade yourself.

First of all, let me tell you what I am not. I will not wind up talking about a concept, telling other people that they know there is such a thing as this particular concept, classifying a situation into this bracket or that branch, without explaining why I brought up the concept by showing through example. Communication is a two-way street. You may be quick on your feet to mention, ya know, I think it’s a (for instance), conspiracy theory… Yeah well I can understand, to demonstrate you know the specifics is pretty empowering. But that just makes you knowledgeable. You also, probably have, a good memory and have become such an expert at employing mnemonic devices. Good on your frontal lobe though! If I really needed the name of something, I would have gone to a library, where I can check the characteristics of a phenomenon, google or find the word, say ‘Science!’ and forget about it. It is one thing to be knowledgeable, but to apply that knowledge for further argument and henceforth a conclusion would be more useful.

A picture says a 1000 words

Now, here’s what I would do. I would say, ya know, I think it’s a conspiracy theory.... Why? OK. You need the facts.... Because of all these incidents that have been popping up, and questionable evidence... Therefore I feel and infer that there is a possibility they may be working in cahoots. I feel that it is wrong because people have the right to know the truth!

So, what separates people from walking wikipedias? We may reply instantly, nitpick away, but a question I love to ask is, “So what? So what? Sooooo what? Soooo what what what what what what what…….” And till I get to the bottom of it, I cannot rest. I keep going till it’s so blindingly true, it hurts. Then, I can finally screech to a stop. When I can’t be bothered to feel something about the situation, I will not come up with the words to substantiate my feelings, because there is none to begin with. But it’s totally alright to admit you haven't heard of it or you do not care!

So what? You are not a robot. You are not an on/off switch. You do not run on electricity. But blood, food, water and the Sun. You are a human (NSFW). You make mistakes. You do not know everything. You have the human touch and you have feelings (unless you are a psychopath like Jack the Ripper). I don’t believe that if a concept doesn't have a term, and can't be formed into a sentence with the available vocabulary, it doesn't exist. Let me rephrase, I believe that if a concept lacks the words to express it currently, it may still exist if you seek to create it. Give it form. Give it shape. So that it becomes more tangible, you know, visible, touchable. Test the theories, break them down or build them up. Otherwise, how did cavemen begin to speak? Who invented those Chinese words? They look like pictures man! Or who thought of cheongsams and decided to put those heavenly mythical dragons on them, and why do they look so oriental? Or how about xiao long baos? What wonderful soup bursting goodness!

Your word is your bond. Make sure that when you say something, it serves a purpose, because you feel for it. Do you have to list down reasons 1 2 3 and 4 and name them for the way you feel? Maybe it’d be too late then. Trust your gut. Your brain tells you when the red flags are up because it’s helping you connect the dots. Maybe you’ve been through an event like this before, or maybe, someone or someTHING has been sending vibes to you!

What is that?

Now that was just the introduction. I will become very feely and vague now, because I’ll be approaching a rather new agey topic. As you may have noticed, I love talking about brains. It’s where the magic happens. Where something comes out of nothing. Do you believe your brains can transmit energy to inanimate objects? Right now the brain it is making me type: this may be weird, but I have a feeling that inanimate objects possess an energy. Are neurons responsible? Ever lost your phone or your iPod and said you missed it? (For the smart alecs, it’s called Animism. Easily Googleable) Have you ever experienced messing around by kicking or throwing an inanimate object like furniture only for it to bounce back and come SMACK like a boomerang? Then, you might just ADORE these bracelets from Ettika. They are 18 k gold, and really hippie. The charms are fawsome! They wrap around your wrist and stuff. I am defo a wrap bracelet fan. I just love those dangly beads and stringy thingies. Now we’re talking. These are the concepts we should be more concerned about. Qualities! Like love, hearts, peace, joy, luck, hope, and freedom! SO WHAT is the point of all this garrulous gabbing? Before you say shut up, take a gander at ‘em. Then, instead of being all confused and whoa! You’d be like, WHOA!

INTERMISSION: OMG someone please buy me one >.<

Life is full of abundance, just go out and grab the opportunities and RUN FREE! They come in so many colours and designs I am just spoilt for choice. Stop hating and live happily ever after! And if you meet perverts, run faster! Save the animals and mankind! Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Nip the nitpicking this instant and love one another, be humble, respect others and they will respect you too! Can you feel it?
