Speak Deeply...

Sep 20, 2005 23:07

I've heard it.

People think that deep profound anything is pointless because it wastes time and if there is a point to what anyone is saying...why don't they just come out and say it.

People make fun of me for the fact that I admire and attempt to be a person with deep thought. I post random emotion on my livejournal, because I want people to read it and think and maybe even feel something.
I'm not asking you to change your life...read what I write, think: "Wow" or "Wow that sucked"...but don't use it as a form to make fun of what I have to say.

Simply poke fun at my hair or my stupid mistakes.
Not at my thoughts.

Now i'm not pulling this out of anything recent with people, this isn't about getting back or seeking revenge...I've just been spurred onto the topic by a conversation between me and jessica and poetry.

I understand people hate poetry because some authors spend way too much time hiding things in it, or trying to prove a deep point. People think that an author of a poem shouldn't do that because it wastes time.

I argue this by stating that any time put toward thought is worthy of itself...is a worthy bit of time.
You can only grow by thinking. You need to say 'what if' just for the hell of it sometimes. You need to pull crap out of nowhere to make things relate to you.

I think authors write stories with meaning in them. What we get from them may or may not be what they worked toward. However, a story is only good when it compells the reader to find relation in it. Call me loser...but books don't make me feel fulfilled until I can find something in it close to me or profound to me.

Now people say dealing in deep thought throughout everyday life is stupid. We are too young to do it anyway and have nothing good to say. Alright, I confess a lot of people in or age group are stupid and say stupid things...but I think every person is capable of producing a deep moment or profound statement...and why should we not have rights to that with a serious state of judgement...we suffer enough being teenagers and don't let anyone tell you they don't.

Recently, somone told me I don't live enough because I think about living to much...maybe that's what that meant.
Anyway...I live enough and by the moment. I'm a careful person because I've taken the time to look at things. To observe...I'm not a prophet, but certain things are negative and certain things are for the better. I know life is about taking risks and letting go and being careful and being crazy, but giving up on feeling and emotion and just simply thinking about everything and everythings place... not saying something profound, not daring to make a statement...not daring to find meaning in anything...well, that's not living life.

If you never take the chance to live through thought aswell as actions, you have yet to run, but walk.
