As you get older, you express yourself in fewer and lesser instances. Or at least, you begin to find new ways to show yourself, other than simple words you verbalize. As a child you basically waste hours of the day running your mouth, talking and blurting things out, thinking out loud, asking questions, trying to identify with someone or something. But when you get older you begin to speak through the various facets of your interests. You write, you sketch, you paint, you dance, you sing, you photograph things, you audit money, you account transactions, you plan cities, you pull teeth, you hit the bottle, you hit the wall, you hit the floor, you grout tile, you kiss women, you kiss vicodin, you steal purses, you text friends, you stare at the sun, you feed birds, you read books, you play musical instruments, you teach children, you shake hands, you get married, you eat scallops, you move to Eastern Europe, you drive a Jeep, you mash keys on a keyboard, you tuck your kids into bed. All of these are manners of speaking. As you get older, just realize that you’ll eventually pick your medium.
