Words

All the words have already been created – it is up to you how you use them. Every word has been spoken, and most lines have been used. In a world striving for originality we use the same mundane words over and over again. When we are little we are taught a bunch of words and their meanings, we learn to use them in sentences. As we grow older we find it more and more difficult to form sentences to express what we want to say, we want to string the words in the exact order and make sure our intentions cannot be misinterpreted, because one word can change a life, one word can break a heart, and one word can mend a person. Words have power.

All the good words are taken and all the worthwhile stories have been told. Or that is at least how I feel sometimes. I find stories very interesting, because even though they use the same words, they can be completely different in meaning. Sentences changes words. How we interpret them and how we respond to them is unique in every situation. There are still stories out there waiting for their words to be connected to them, and every good story has to start with a single word somewhere, just like every book starts with a sentence. Connect the words and make a story.

It is funny though, how sometimes the most important message can be conveyed with no words spoken. Silence sometimes speaks so loudly that words can become irrelevant. We show what we feel by every action and sometimes the words left unsaid in the silences are more powerful than those spoken clearly without hesitation. The biggest problem I can see with words left unsaid, is that they can easily be ignored and sometimes misinterpreted.

But as we say too little children, go out and use your words child... Cause words have power.
