Once not so long ago I would sit and write stories, anything for hours on end. Fiction, dreams, crazy thoughts, sane thoughts, any thoughts in my head, it would come out on paper, and always be there. I find comfort in writing, still to this day. Even in this time at present, with typing and texting becoming more and more, I wish so much that people still wrote letters, kept journals, something that meant more than just the simple mindless action of hitting a few keys or pressing a button.
I can’t imagine what it would be like back in 1800′s when all people could do was write letters to one another and it could take days, sometimes weeks to reach someone. As frustrating as that would be, it was a different time altogether. I think it was a time where people actually appreciated genuinely the people they met, loved, their family, friends, and writing a letter would be second nature. Something that today, would seem so simple, yet also weird at once. What scares me is that soon…writing, paper, pencils…will becomes this alien thing, that will not be needed. Even I can understand I mean, why should you have to write someone? When the computer is right here, so easy and fast, to go in our fast paced, crazy lifestyle. Not to say this is a bad thing. I am a huge fan of facebook and slowly getting used to the whole texting thing, (I am a grandma among my friends haha) but I am starting to find boredom in email, messaging and texting, I have never really been thrilled with. Maybe because it is all too easy,..and words have lost their meaning.
Well that is my rant for now…sure there will be more to come.
