Definitions

 I spent so much time thinking people can be summed up in a matter of words.. Because that’s what we like to believe, right? That we can describe a person using some extravagant wording and everybody will be able to understand. It seems almost easy when you’re trying to describe those around you – it seems possible. But after a while when I couldn’t find a selection of vocabulary that I could use to explain myself I figured I was a lost cause. - I didn’t know who I was or who I wanted to be. But what I’ve learned is this: people can’t be explained in several complex words. People, are unexplainable - they’re too much to narrow down into something so specific and rather insignificant. You could write a novel on a single person and still not fully understand them. You just can’t narrow people down we’re way too overly complex for that. I guess it’s a matter of finding and picking apart the sentences that create your novel, and knowing that no matter what you’ll have a few blank pages. You may be able to sum up parts of people, or parts of yourself, but you’ll never be able to sum up the full thing. Some things will just continue to remain unexplained and misunderstood. But in a sense that’s a good thing. We shouldn’t want to be able to be explained so easily. We should want to be difficult and unique and confusing.
The fact is that we are not fully explainable; we don’t and never will carry our definitions in our back pockets.
