Language is my bugbear. Everyone says things now like 'I was sat' instead of 'I was sitting', which just sounds so ugly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It was enough just to sit there without words.
People enjoy sitting back knowing they won't hear a lot of four-letter words.
I mean, I have moments of huge frustration because of my inability to express myself linguistically as clearly as I would like to.
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'
My language is what I use, and if I lost that, I wouldn't be able to say anything.
I was very good at sitting. But I just read so much research about how horrible sitting is for you. It's like, it's really bad. It's like Paula-Deen-glazed-bacon-doughnut bad. So I now move around as much as possible.
I had problems getting my words out. If people spoke directly to me, I understood what they said. But when the grownups got to yakking really fast by themselves, it just sounded like 'oi oi.' I thought grownups had a separate language. I've now figured out I was not hearing the hard consonant sounds.
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
So, sometimes, when I'm not happy with my performance and I have to think, I will think in English.
I sat staring, staring, staring - half lost, learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect. So still were the big woods where I sat, sound might not yet have been born.
