Talk too much or text too much!:!

Kind of the story of my life...

I've always been a big talker, so much that I once was an actress and an art performer...

As a plus I'm a teacher and a writer, my whole life has been involved in telling stories, talking, and socializing. Also having lived the life of an artist for much of my life, my life was always about lots of public relations, lots of social events, openings, art exhibitions, and classes at Brera were a lot about talking, as well!

Once one of my professors told us that the real reason we went to class was to learn how to talk... I still sometimes wonder about that phrase of his...!

I've been a big talker since I was a child, and I still am, but sometimes I get caught up in a flow of expressing feelings and thoughts to the wrong audience. People who don't want and maybe don't really need to know what I have to say. 

If I write in my blog, I'm allowed to say whatever I feel like, and you are free to read or not. If you choose to read, then read, if you don't feel like reading then don't.

Artists are not usually real social beings, we are more introverted than outgoing, talking and writing are often an expression of ourselves, who we are, and what we are trying to convey.

Sometimes artists are too much, intensity, can't fake it, raw, but ourselves.

In this new era, If I'm not writing, I then end up talking too much or texting too much !..

That is the price I pay for not expressing myself in the healthy way I should be. 

Nowadays people are not really ready to listen or to read what we have to say.

Usually, pain, triggers my writing, my overflow of feelings and emotions.

We often don't get what we want, but we get what we need...

The universe has weird ways of talking to us and answering our prayers. 

We all have something to fix, defects of character, some traits that don't help us communicate with others the way we should have and we did not. 

Nowadays everything is mostly written by text or e-mail, our lives especially after Covid have become one big text, chat, or e-mail.

We are losing more and more human contact, when that human contact is lacking we have an overflow of texting or talking. 

When we don't see people that much, because our lives have become all about work, too much of it, we end up talking too much on the phone or texting too much. At least that is what happens to me...

But most of the time: this way of communicating is being wrongly perceived.

The text should be one sentence long and a maximum of 4 words. Hello, how are you? Good, fine thanks, and you? End, period.

Responses are often not what we would like them to be, as there are no emotions and we are often being misunderstood. And we get "lost in translation".

Often the times of responses are not the ones, we expect or wish for.

We stop waiting after a day, then sometimes we get that response that we did not want to get.

Sometimes we hope for a response that will never come, or we hope that it doesn't come.

"Don't talk to me": I talk too much, or I text too much...
