discernment

dyou know when we lost it?

we lost it when we started typing on keyboards rather than typewriters.

though an 'erase' button has always existed on typewriters, even that had to be utilised carefully. my papa owns a typewriter, so i know. reels run out. keyboard's peripheral parts dont. and that's where we started slacking. we realised it was actually that easy. that led us to be more lazy. yknow that quote, 'people dont deserve good writing they are so satisfied with bad'? i think it was either oscar wilde or some other equally sarky dude. but they had another thought coming. that was that time. its worse now. because we know we have one button to pick up after us, we have no fear of metering what we want to say. no cause to be cautious, none to be aware, that beyond a point, you cant erase anything. 

i feel that this is the reason we're losing words. 

dear you, when you come, please show me words. show me lovely words. words that i never knew existed. i dont want to lose words. i want to find them. i want to find them, and keep them in my memory.

and if its not much to ask, i want to type them. into a typewriter.

yknow what else i feel? because the keyboard is so instant, that the moment your finger presses a letter and it appears, we end up feeling everything fast. we dont think twice. thoughts are measured when you have to type it into a typewriter, because a typewriter doesnt relay your button-pressing-ness onto paper that fast. and think about those days when you had to adjust the margin lines and stuff. o god. 

make me a word. only for me. 

ps. you cant use humbuggler. i just created that. last night. ill find a use for it soon. for now, shangari and i have decided that it should be an adjective. because it looks like an adjective. we get that adjective vibe from it.

dyou want to hear the most awesome thing ever?

im so adjective, i verb nouns.

arent you just in awe of this?

i know i was.
