i know right? sounds like veggie tales.
surprisingly though, it was excellent. (surprising because this was her first time speaking solo at youth, and also because it seemed like a rather tired topic.)
but i've been thinking about the idea a lot lately. words carry a friggin ton of meaning.
of course, me being the sarcastic cutie pie that i am, i often abuse words for a sardonic hit of humour.
retrospectively though, sarcasm probably isnt the best base setting to have. while i'm not really concerned about offending people (if sarcasm actually upsets you, then i have a letter for you. it goes like this:
dear you.
grow up.
much love.)
i'm more worried about how it will shape my view. or something like that.
anyways.
i've heard a few people say things like 'i want to say 5 nice things a day' or something like that. admirable, but i'd rather go more for 'if i see something nice worth pointing out, i will.'
it seems more sincere.
oh wait, it is.
.. anyways
words permeate society. but unlike a lot of other things that are everywhere, words dont lose their effectiveness just because they're exploited. we just dont notice how effective they are. which is dangerous.
i had some other mental point about how the modern church sucks, and i was going to tie it all together beautifully with a wonderful flourish and leave you thinking long into the night, but for now you're just going to have to imagine i did that.
song:
timothy haye by mewithoutyou.
just because it was playing while i cleaned my room and i like it when aaron echoes 'hey'
