It is often difficult to put into words how you are feeling. To express that bubble of emotions that resides within you, your brain understands you; knows how you are feeling but it can’t express it, not even to yourself. It is easy to use words, adjectives, like sad, angry, happy, excited, but its when your feelings can’t be categorised like that, when they are more complex it is hard to explain concisely. Sometimes its easier to use metaphors to try and relate and express you how you are feeling in an analogy, but that can often come across pretentious, be misconstrued or even not actually express what you wish to.
Words are complicated, they are also so simple and there aren’t enough of them. I don’t know enough of them, I don’t know the right words to express my emotions, to let them out from within the confides of my mind into the outside world. I can’t express them so how can I even begin to deal with and understand them? And this project, often my words escape me, in fact they reguarly do, I have found ways to skip and cheat a thought away, with poems, quotes, even just saying I am not going to write a thought. I very often express myself like this. I don’t often use as many words as I am using now. Why? Because I can’t often find the words. (laziness is also a big contributing factor but this thought it about words and emotions).
Without being able to express how I feel I will keep it bottled up and it will manifest. That’s how I cope with things, I am getting better with expressing how I feel but more over trivial things, not the deep rooted emotions that I can’t find the words for or the metaphors. I mean, I probably could find a metaphor but it still couldn’t truly express my emotions.
I feel as if right now, I need to shift my perspective upon this thought topic, give an answer to what to do when you can’t find the words or give an example. But the problem is I don’t have the answer not yet. I don’t have the answer for what to do when you can’t express your feelings, and I still do not have the words to give you an example. All I can say is I am feeling things, within which I would like to express but cannot as I know and feel that these are feelings that have resided in my mind for a very long time and are manifesting. Yet I cannot deal with them, how can I when I can’t even express them.
