The Frustration That Is Expression

I see words as the core of clear communication. It’s incredible how much can be achieved by just saying something; a new love, a new understanding, a new war. So, with all this new technology, why do I find it so hard to say some things? I don’t need a publisher to make a difference in the world. I don’t even need a computer. All I need is a few dollars and an hour at an internet cafe. It’s an amazing new world… or is it?

While the near effortless ability to reach people anywhere is an incredible achievement it’s also a problem. There is such an over-saturation of information that makes an inventor blue. I’m expressive, but I need to be in a new way; I’m a creator at heart. Is it possible to say something new with internet users in the hundreds of millions? That depends on your definition of new. In my mind I break things down to their simplest form. I believe that most things are less complicated than they may seem. So, I see the same things being said over and over in any literate forum. There is hope though.

Expression does not flourish in the simple message, but in relation. This has been growing in my mind for a long while, but I am finally certain. I know now that I don’t have to speak only to say something new, but to speak to those listening for that moment of comfort they feel in knowing they’re not the only one.
