Author's Note: This is going to be an essay about expressing yourself the right way. It is an essay to show you the options you have to express yourself. Whatever works best for you.....
When you try to express yourself, sometimes it can be a struggle. Whether it is showing your thoughts through writing, drawing, speaking, or physical activity, there is never a perfect way to express what is going on in your mind. You are the only one in the whole world who knows what goes on in your brain. The only one. You know exactly what you want to say or do or express to another person, but then the other person just sees it a different way. Its an unknown mystery as to which way to express yourself is the best; is it talking, writing, or drawing?
One of the most common ways of communicating with others is the idea of speaking. Whether you are looking at a person eye to eye, or talking to someone on the phone, you can hear the tone and mood and emphasis in pronunciation, which is such a key part of expressing your feelings that writing or drawing doesn't have. However, don't under-estimate the power of eye contact and how that can effect the meaning of what you are saying. Whether you are looking someone directly in the eye or you are shying away can show huge meanings towards the other person about how you feel about them. A lot of people choose talking, but there are many more ways you can express yourself.
Besides talking, a person can use the idea of writing to show their emotions and appreciation for another person. Our world has evolved from using cans and string, to seeing teenagers attached to their little devices, trying to communicate with one another sending the :) or the BRB's. This wonderful world has also evolved with the invention of Email so that people can communicate through computers and send files back and forth, or pictures. Written communication can be very powerful sometimes. When texting, if you spell everything right, or everything wrong can immensely show whether the person is relaxed talking to you, or he wants to be really formal. If a person capitalizes everything in a small portion of the text, it could tell you that they are yelling, or they want you to notice something really important. Even though you are not talking to someone eye to eye, written communication can be very valuable.
When you don't use speaking or writing to communicate, the most common way to express your feelings and communicate with everyone around the world is drawing. There are artists dating all the way back to the 1500's that have been using the idea of art to express how they feel about the world. There are many displays throughout every country displaying the artists feelings and talents of drawing. A painting never looks the same to any person throughout the world. A bright, vibrant painting to someone might mean that the person was very happy while drawing it, but another person might think that the person was trying to describe how they were seeing the world at that specific moment. Art is one of the most expressional and inspirational ways of expressing your feelings, and sometimes it can be the most powerful too.
Whether expressing your feelings is letting other people experience your joy and happiness, or you're trying to get all your anger out of your body, you have to figure out which method works best for you. Speaking might be the best because you can get all of your feelings out of your body quick and easily. Or it may be writing, so you can soothly let something out of your body by writing it all down. Or it may even be making art to express what you are feeling. No matter what you choose, every one is a quality way of expressing your emotions to other people. Just remember one thing, it DOES NOT matter which way you express yourself, but make sure you do express yourself, because if you don't, it could build up, and tear you down.
