Expression


Everyone expresses themselves differently.  Obviously, (or maybe not so obviously) I express myself and my emotions best through written word.  It empowers who I am by giving word and voice to the part of me I feel hides inside.  How do you express yourself?  I have come to learn there are infinite ways to do so.  My older sister I feel best expresses herself in her movements.  From her hand gestures to her choreographed dancing, her body sometimes says more than her words do.  My younger sister is best known for her talent with instruments and there is no doubt she is sharing herself every time she performs a piece or when she teaches someone else how to express themselves through this same outlet.  She speaks a language that sings to the soul.  My younger brother, while very smart and great at articulating himself through words, really shows who he is with his art.  It is unique and an insight into him and his view of the world.   I have a very dear friend who communicates herself best through the service she continually offers.  She willingly opens herself up to freely give to others the love she feels for all and the hope she inspires in others.  My husband expresses and defines himself through his work.  By assimilating and excelling at the challenges he is given, he finds his sense of self. So now that you have a couple of examples, how do you best express yourself?  Is it in your words, your actions, your thoughts?  How do you best be you and define yourself from the other six billion people on this planet?

  1. I love that your family is so well rounded in all their different talents, very cool! Interestingly enough, I express through my actions better than words, even though I appreciate others words so much! On second thought, I probably do equally with my words since I am continuously giving therapy through my work as a cosmetologist. ;) I love my job! Thanks for another interesting post, I love your writings. :)
