share ideas, share stories, share curiosities, share inspiration, share insight, share experience…
Communication calibrates resonance. Possibilities are enabled through externalizing inner worlds. We only connect on the level of what is sincerely communicated.
There are sentiments of keeping certain things to yourself in belief that telling other people goals, intentions, desires… can diminish the energy of actually following through with such things. However, I’ve experienced plenty of resonant experiences through thinking aloud and sharing ideas.
Sometimes it sparks something in others. Sometimes they have some related idea which inspires options I never even considered. Sometimes they happen to know someone who knows someone who can assist it making it happen…
I don’t always get feedback and sometimes I don’t really find the feedback helpful and just ignore it. But just because such response is unideal doesn’t mean I should just close myself off—completely dismissing the good things that can happen along with the bad. There is always the need to navigate nuance.
How selfish is it to indulge in countless things others have created—to enjoy the convenience existent by the effort of others to arrange systems of efficiency and craft inventions which make life easier—to acknowledge the development of languages I use, songs I live by, clothes I wear… How selfish is it to partake in all of this and not act accordingly? How could I not pay it forward?
I go through periods of being very selfishly reserved with communication. It’s fueled by experiences of no one really paying attention, people misunderstanding, misinterpreting, taking my expression and presence for granted… These moments make sharing feel like wasted effort, sometimes even something I pay negative consequences for. While I do feel certain things may be too carelessly handled by public attention and thus, better left reserved… I find it too selfish to keep entirely to myself. Most people are bound to not relate to my own experiences, but it’s worth sharing for the sake of the few who do. How foolish it would be to dismiss the effort just because it doesn’t land for all or most. Many times it feels like none. But hell, if it fulfills my own soul then even just that makes it worth it.
