Words

Everyone is home for the summer, though some people are farther from me than I would like them to be...::sighs:: I'll live (though I won't like it one bit). I'll tell you right now that I don't really know where I'm going with this post; I was just looking at my blog, thinking it would look better with a new post. I always think, "hey, maybe I will write about something deep and philosophical on my blog and sound really cool and smart!", but then all the thoughts in my head stop at my fingertips (hey, maybe I am going somewhere with this post). It's come to my attention that I can't articulate how I feel about a variety of things...I feel them, and I understand exactly what I think about in my mind (obviously), but I don't feel that I have the words to accurately express something as raw as an emotion. I know, I know, it's easy to say "I feel happy/sad/pissed at you/aroused/whatever", but how do describe how you feel about another person in one word, or even a couple? How do you describe how you feel about a book, a poem, a point of view, a sunset, your cat, your dog, the world, the universe (and any parallel ones)? It seems pompous to assume that a language can even come close to explaining these things. I'm going to think about this some more and post on it again...
