I feel very stupid for not being able to process words as quickly. And I want to understand what's being said with effort but somehow I keep dragging time while doing so. It might be my numb emotions towards people and life, or it could be just the need to sharpen my intuition. I don't know, this thought could go many ways.
There just must be this master truth to know and embody it.

fellow person, a year ago in my junior year at hs, my history teacher pulled me aside and asked me if English was my first language, because the way I wrote was “very interesting”. The letter that my teacher gave to me as I graduated was “your writing was interesting, keep on writing!”.
It’s ok to take time to process words, in my sophomore year of high school (era of lockdown) I forgot ~90% of my vocabulary, forgetting the definitions of words like “drawer” and “library”, and I had to start from ground zero. I literally had to ask how to talk, it was horrendous, but I learned. I gained an “interesting “ writing and taking style. I wonder if you are in a similar case to myself in the sense that we have trouble understanding the words and expressions around us, however it isn’t through intuition but rather wisdom that both you and I lack in human dialect. Wisdom is the growth from struggles in life, and if we struggle we have an opportunity to learn. There’s no magic trick to processing words, just an approach to dialect people forged through their own experiences . There’s also not much shame in clarifying words I realize, people like to be clear and talk about that than leave the situation confused.
Thank your sharing this fellow person, it was honestly hard to try and express in the way I did, and I thank you for that!

ReplyThanks, fellow — appreciate you relating to what I'm saying. It must have been a challenge to start with nothing but you really have been able to come ways in writing. I'm not sure if the struggle has to do with the amount of wisdom or the lack of application thereof, but I think you're right when you say there's no real magic trick. I would want to be able to do it quickly with little effort and really get what others are trying to illustrate.
