you need

you need to see Primer. It's a movie. It's beautiful and inspiring.

you need to understand that we speak through the filter of everyone's individual auditory perception. Here I write, and communicate in written word through the filter of your visual perception. The way your eyes dart from side to side and pull in peripheral images is not how I intended to communicate with you, but it is happening regardless.

you need to always remind yourself that you're not being heard as much as filling the space between another person's opportunities to speak. Find other ways to communicate. Find your way into that person's private world. Become something on which they reflect personally. Be the sunlight that makes them remember dozing after school years ago. Be the itch that convinces them that they're having a terrible day. Be absent. Do not be another person in their life. If they love you it's because they have love. If they hate you it's because they have hate. These are chemicals, not in the lavalife sense, but actual chemicals that if you got your head knocked in, would come gushing out.

it's beautiful to know what kind of animal you are
