I want to talk about being an introvert and how much I need time to sit at home and just be for a while.
I want to talk about going to Macbeth and being confused, soul-crushed, angered, depressed, and, shamingly, even a little bored.
I want to talk about how cool it was to have a discussion afterwards about character development and Shakespeare's views of authority figures bringing in multiple plays and feeling really smart.
I want to talk about not being ashamed of being strongly averse to country music.
I want to talk about being ever so much less than I ever expect to be.
I want to talk about how much I need to get done and how disappointed I am with myself for not doing all those things.
Most of all, I want to avoid writing a paper that's due tomorrow.
So I can't say any of those things. I shouldn't waste time trying to say any of those things.
My voice is being choked off. My words are stolen.
Writing this paper is going to be awful.
YES I HAVE THAT TROUBLE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THERE ARE REALLY TRULY NO WORDS FOR WHAT I WANT TO SAY, WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I shut down these conversations, and they were wonderful things. I'm sorry.
Also-- don't be ashamed of hating country music. I would, too, if I hadn't been raised to love it. Oh, and love, you totally are smart.
oh, it wasn't you shutting me down...I just wanted to write about it, cuz articulating with a keyboard is so much more satisfying, you know? :P
ReplyDeleteThanks.
