Vagueposting... what is that?

When we "have access" to all this information why are we playing hard to get?

I often think about the concept of not feeling like you said what you meant, that you were not understood when you tried to speak your piece. What makes us feel like we are misunderstood more than the gap between how we expect the audience to react and how they actually do? Communication is the key- is a phrase shoved down our throats without a chance to chew on what that means?

Do you have a good definition for what communicating is? Communication is a multitude of ideas, but the most friction on the concept is when we feel misinformed or underinformed before we made our choices. "I would have done XYZ differently if I had more information, different information, better information... etc."

Its frustrating to not understand someone as much as it is to not be understood. Are you being curious enough? And are you being clear enough?

"We have all the information we could ever access than ever before," and objectively this is true, but what are any of us talking about? We feel this profound loneliness and lack of connection in our communities intellectually, but where is our sense of personal development? are we sharing where we come from, and do we have plans for how we want to be?

Do you really want to just be like that because that's just how the world is?

a product of just reacting to everything you went through? if you frame it like that you'll find proof, if you want me to save you the time and trouble.

so our only responsibility is how we frame the world. What has happened relevantly up until this point that makes it how it is? Acknowledge the past, but you don't bring your sleeping bag. and then just decide something else. Something out of the ordinary, off the menu, something you barely understand to exist. Move forward wondering what do I want to see? what does a solution actually look like?

When you communicate something you want to be heard with undisrupted attention, you have to draw the entire world on the size of the stage, enough to trick the audience that the world is that stage, and it is really a mirror, a portal to some quiet unarticulated moment in the watchers life. For their attention they must believe you peered through their window into them getting ready to brave the world and saw what they actually felt before they save it for a later intimate moment with the self.

It is not my fault that you are upset with the world. I bet we share the same criticisms. Are you changing the program? Are you being friendly to someone who pisses you off to diffuse the energy? I will not hold your anger just because you cannot put it down yourself.

If all of us walk around talking about what we want to talk about, or get lost on the way to any sort of point, is it really the fault of our community for not understanding us? Language has always been an alchemic product of the relationships it glues together. A unifying idea or phrase, vague enough to embody an entire spirit, one that any audience member may try on for the duration of the performance, and feel and embody. The best performer allows the audience member to try the character on for size, without letting anything disrupting to the expression of the character distract the audience in a way that "wakes up" the audience member.

So we fall down to the criticism of vagueposting, whose fault is it that we don't try to understand each other, before we want to speak with our swapped faces? How do I know what you are thinking? I don't, I know how I judge myself and that is a dynamic relationship. I know my judgement of others is a judgement of self without accountability.

The community is not there to hold my complaints, my disdains, my judgements. How do you make a plan with a list of everything you hate, my point is, adjust your compass. What are you loving? What joys are you sharing with your community? How are you celebrating others the way you wish to be celebrated? How are you improving yourself? These are not burdens to bear. These are the actual moments of your very real and singular life.

Gratitude moves the needle of your life forward. Sure, your negative thoughts have validity, sure they can slow you down enough to think critically, but if they are just paralyzing you, that is a parasite. Cut it out. Disrupt yourself every time it happens until the friction pushes you in another direction.

And when you spend the time alone, stewing in thoughts and ideas not yet articulated, are you grateful to be curious, to learn about yourself?
