Waves

Today I learned some contradictory things.

1. I remembered why it is I don't always like to talk. Too many times today I said things, and not even timidly or too quietly, and they went completely unheard/ignored, though I think more unheard than ignored. It's less discouraging (/hurtful) not to make the effort in the first place.

2. On the flip side, I spent a lot of time having fun with my friends.

3. I learned that it's actually quite difficult to write truly bad poetry on purpose (but also a lot of fun).
