They went without me. I was in English class while this was happening.

Sadness
I realized nobody thought the cow heart pictures were amazing. Wahhhh.
Not really, I'm fine. For the poor digestion systems of those scrolling down
the page, I will remove them.
But doesn't anyone think a left ventricle is awesome?

I wasn't expecting to do anything big for my birthday this year because we have been really busy, and that was just fine with me. Lo and behold, this was a perfect opportunity for some of my new friends because I had two different groups throw me suprise parties. It was really fun, and we did a lot of silly things. As a family we went out to eat my absolute favorite food, which is Indian. The food at Bombay House in Provo was really yummy, and I would seriously eat that stuff every day for the rest of my life if I had too.

English Reflection
Why don’t we speak like that?
“Romeo, Romeo, where art thou Romeo?”
“To undergo with me an enterprise, of honorable dangerous consequence…”
“Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day”
How did all these lovely adjectives die out? They fill the mind with dramatic scenes, force it into seeing the picture clearly, mold it with words….
How did our culture give up on such ways of describing? All we ever say is “cool”, “awesome”, “nice”, “happy”. Did you know in the online thesaurus there are 49 synonyms for the word “happy”?
I understand that the way people speak is ever changing, and therefore so is the English language, but why is it for the worst? Why do we depend on things like “lol, idk, brb, ttyl, bff” to explain how we truly feel? We definitely aren’t running out of emotions, so why aren’t we trying to define them in a way that people truly understand? Personally, “lol” is the most unfeeling response. Laugh Out Loud? Whoever decided that was an appropriate response to a funny story, a piece of irony, or lines of sarcasm must have been sitting in front of a screen for just a little too long.
It all seems to come down to time. Everyone is willing to give up something in order to create more of it for themselves. But aren’t there some things worth the extra time?It seems like truly expressing yourself would be worth the extra seconds or even (gasp!) minutes. I am guilty of this very crime, but using beautiful adjectives not only puts the icing on ideas, but seem to be an ingredient in the recipe for the cake. Wow. That was deep.
Those that write should realize that the way they word ideas could change lives.
Persuasive speech, or writing has changed minds that in turn, change the world. Those that can be the most convincing and articulate often win the world’s approval. Putting it all together, wouldn’t it be worth the extra time to properly express ourselves if we just understood the impact it could have on the world, and generations to come?
