Expression Capacity

I don't know how true this is. For me, I think there is a capacity to expression. One can never be able to fully express in more than one form. For the past month or so, i have channelled much of my "expression capacity" to music, thus for the lack of updates in the form of words.

Nonetheless, thanks Emily for reminding me of this stagnated pool of thoughts. haha.

Life recently has been utterly enriching. Seems like as I implore further into this realm, the bigger the world becomes. There are just so many more things awaiting my discovery, and i am enjoying the experience. Even though i may lack the ability to participate yet, being an appreciative audience is exhilarating enough.

Have been thinking about the art of conversation lately. I believe that effective communication is essential to maintaining and improving a relationship of any kind. Sometimes it is not just about frequency, because that can be adjusted with time. It is also not about the content of conversation. It is the method of conversing. Two people who can communicate well have no problem about content. On the contrary, people who can't communicate with each other will have problems even if there are an array of topics to be discussed.

A good conversation requires a good deal of genuine interest, active listening, understanding, appropriate commenting and a few dosages of empathy. Although this is not the only formula for a good conversation, but I believe these are the basic building blocks.

Yet even with these fundamentals, there are just some people whom I just can't sustain a conversation. Perhaps it is the clash in values, the absence of a common ground, i don't know. Or maybe the problems just lie in the people. (yeah, maybe i have a problem too. =P)
