words.

its crazy what words can do.. what they can make you feel.
Its even more crazy what no words can do, and how that can make you feel.

Texting has become one of the main means of communication.
Its changed the way intimate relationships begin, function, and end.

I can remember numerous times when I've text my Girlfriend something pretty serious, and depended on her response...my emotions are on hold till she writes back, or they are wild till she writes back. time, time, time, patience. She gets the text, has time to feel it, and think about what she wants to say back, AND choose words. Anyway I guess we don't always think about it, but we could, we have time! In the time thinking, I'm somewhere else doing something or nothing at all... waiting on her response. I also have the choice to say something else before she writes back. Sometimes I will depending on my perception of her thoughts and how she is feeling. Which can be good or bad. The iphone is even worse for this, because it is so much faster, and its like we are chatting on the internet.

I've learned to TRY and take that time to respond. I've learned to be patient and wait on a response instead of relying on my perception, because my perception is usually much more exaggerated than the reality. When I get the response, its usually a relief :)

Words are strong. They ignite our emotions.... which are the body's physical reaction to our thoughts. Try being patient, and taking time to think things through. See the big picture, before responding from your exaggerated perception!!!
