What I Really Didn’t Mean To Say.
Did you ever notice, that although we are being spoken to or at all the freak day long, many times it’s the words which are unspoken which are the intended messages?
Entertainers, politicians, teachers, spouses, children…heck even dogs are saying things to use that we can’t hear. We all do it…out of politeness, fear, dishonesty or just plain lack of verbal skills — we disguise what we really want to say.
And don’t even get me started on how confusing it is when someone repeats something to you but had sworn to the other person they wouldn’t — so they tell it to you in code, while also camouflaging certain details?
I began to wonder what it would be like if I tried to collect a days worth of unspoken words and phrases and pulled them together into one converstion, it might go something like this:
- I won’t be home tonight, I’d rather be out drinking with my friends, who don’t tell me what to do, and I really don’t care if you have a nice day, because I actually do care if I win an Oscar and I did not call you because your kid is not that cute, your house is ugly and the bills are not in the mail and yes, that dress makes you fat and I’m doing so much better than you because it IS women’s issues and I don’t care about your vacation…what the hell were you thinking…you’re never getting promoted…
See what I’m saying? Oh…and woof…I don’t unconditionally love you.
