AN ODE TO THE PHONE
I love a good dish on the phone, and yes it makes me feel this saucy.
The reason I like talking on the phone is because it’s hard. I can’t edit like a text, and so you see the real me. Because when it’s always a carefully constructed bit of language – I am lost. I don’t even know who I am anymore, and so I try to present this version of myself which I’m unsure of to begin with, because it’s a reflection. That image comes from a place of wanting to connect, but already the disconnect is there. I don’t know who that person is that I’m trying to be exactly, and so I end up feeling abandoned. So I need to talk. It’s how I can trust not just you, but me.
The above is a direct quote out of my journal this morning, not so carefully constructed. I try to write stream of consciousness for 15 minutes every morning. It’s been some of my best work and most creative imagining. Not that this is an example of that… I just mean it. I wish people talk more.
