First I want to thank Lisa for the opportunity to guest post at  insignificant at best!  So, Thank you Lisa!  This is my very first guest post and I am really excited about it. “…I’m always writing inside my head. Even when I can’t get the words out, just juggling them around helps ease that constant yearning.”When I read this for the first time I thought – Wow! Someone gets it!

Words are so clear to me. My brain is a constantly writing. It might be a story, or a blog post, but it’s always something.

It’s been this way for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I was always writing adventures in my head, though I thought of it as daydreaming. I used characters that my Sister and I had created when we were playing. These characters got to do all the things I wanted to do in real life, like go to summer camp or discover Bigfoot.

I remember thinking how sad it would be when I had to grow up and give up my daydreams.

Except I never did. My daydreams just changed, as I realized what I was really doing. I was writing. Even when I’m thinking about events in my own life, it’s like I’m telling a story to someone. I guess it’s like I was blogging in my head, before I actually started blogging online. Because that’s just how I see the world – through words. Maybe some of you think I’m weird, but maybe some of you can relate.

I have to say that while words are clear to me, they don’t always come out of mouth as clearly as I would like. I sometimes stutter or mumble, especially if I am in a hurry. I like to think that my mouth just isn’t as fast as my brain.

Pictures, on the other hand, aren’t clear to me. People give me strange looks when I say this. Like the time one of my friends mentioned someone we hadn’t seen in a long time, “I always thought she was so pretty.” And I said, “I can’t really remember what she looks like. It’s been a while.” That’s when I got the weird look. But it was true. That girl was, and still is, fuzzy to me. If I don’t see you for a while, you’ll be fuzzy too.

When I run into someone I haven’t seen in a long time, I kind of have a panic attack. I know I should know them, but I’m not sure from where I know them. It’s very frustrating.

It is also frustrating when I am writing a story. Because I can’t always see my characters clearly, at least at first. But just like in real life, the more time I spend with a character the easier it is for me to see him.

Well, this is how I see the world, how do you see it? Through words, like me? Or pictures? Colors? I’m sure that there are perspectives that I’m overlooking. Let me know in the comments!
