If you've ever experienced an emotion or a state of mind so strongly that you felt the profound need to retell your experiences to your contemporaries, then you are like me.

If you are, you may well be familiar with the frustrating sense of verbal impotence.

I am not good with words, verbal expression is something I am not good at, however I'm always almost unstoppably drawn to a vain attempt at description.

Have you ever had a sudden moment of clarity, one of those rare moments where you encounter something wonderful then suddenly it dawns on you that this was what so and so was on about? That arresting sense of identification with that person? Its only this moment, knowing in your head you know exactly what they did, where you might come realise how feebly inadequate words are, or at the very least how desensitized we have been to them- remembering that conversation, realising that it identifies with what you're feeling now, and then the perplexing feeling that what was told to you was by no means adequate at all.

Blimey. This is exactly what you were talking about. How could I not realise what this felt like? Its exactly how you described it, but... more! Much much more! I like feeling a strong identification with people like this, like you have shared something special.

I created this blog to write down important things to me. Sometimes I would scribble thoughts into the back of a notebook, but the results are messy and hard to read.
The things I write are my thoughts and feelings, I don't gaurantee an interesting read, and I don't gaurantee that the subject matter will interest anyone either. I just need a place to write these things down for myself, so if anyone else is reading, hi!
any comments are welcome.
