What are words?

Are they combinations of 26 different alphabets? The unique kind of sound when you identify their pronunciation?

A silent h in 'hour'. An uncanny combination in 'rendezvous'.

But like music notes, words weave something more than what they are.

They are excitement in an inspiration. They are admiration in beauty. They are faith in an idea.

They are a conversation between two people.

When you write, do you know who you are writing to? Do you know what feelings or information you want to share to them? Do you know why they would listen?

Do you know why you write?

Writing words is a communication in itself. If you don’t know why you are talking, no one else does. If you don’t believe what you are saying, no one else will.

Words are powerful. Only if you can master them. They’re like a nasty horse that won’t let you ride it if you’re not good enough.

Some people turn away from that particular horse, or even give up on horse-riding forever. And I’m the silly little bullheaded lass who still want to keep trying. In any case, I’m the silly little bullheaded copywriter in an advertising agency for two weeks now.

Finally I’m back on here, thanks to the brain-picking process at work. You know, you get overloaded with words and you have to spit them out once in a while. Haha.

Good day everyone!
