Whew! Back online, after a long and annoying separation. The connection here is sketchy, but it'll do. I wish I could talk more about the typical things that people discuss in blogs, but I really can't. I'm deployed with the military, and I won't be home for a long time, so no bitching about the difficulties of daily life for me. Nothing feels daily here. Instead, I will use this time, and this blog to post some of my more abstract writings. I hope someone out there enjoys them.
Here's the first offering:
three little words
Overwhelming, isn't it? Strange, I think, how three little words can uproot your entire world and strike you squarely in the gut. Sometimes i think empires are toppled on three little words. They are so simple, and so brutal in their lack of frills: "I love you" "I have AIDS" "I am scared" "I hate you" "You are worthless" are some of the most powerful statements in our lives. Their power lies in their simplicity, their complete lack of nuance or deceipt. These are phrases that must be taken at face value when spoken with sincerity. What do you say to these? How can you rebuttal undisguised hate? How do you ignore AIDS? How do you build your worth without feeling foolishly defensive? You don't. You simply walk away, knowing that person will never care. These words, so simple, so innocent alone, are shattering together. Even the apparently innocuous "I love you" has the ability to shake my very core as a thought, unverbalized, when it comes unbidden, interrupting thoughts of someone so far from my hand, and so close to my heart. Is it strange, that I find the power of these words so deceptively clear? Do I even make sense to anyone not privy to my inner thoughts?
