Intention and Interpretation.

By -
This should've been the one thing i should've written about first. it's always on my mind. let me know your views in the comment section. 
do you ever mean for something in a positive way and it comes out all wrong or they get it all wrong? maybe something you say or something you do maybe because of the way you said or did it or their history 
thats the difference between intention and interpretation. what you meant and how it got out. so can we control both?
 
Let's go back to the Basics.

    No I dont think you have control over either. How someone perceives us is almost never about ourselves but just how they think of us. Explains why some people could hate you so much while others view you as one of the most precious people

      But thats the illusion, we have convinced ourselves that we do not have control over this and so many more aspects of our lives. Hate cannot be a self internalized illusion, it stems somewhere, something you did (even sometimes with honest good intent) could have been misinterpreted, and I'm sorry but you need to realize your lack of intent communication led to that. People love because you show them loveable parts of you, they hate because you show them parts of you that they hate.

    I feel that we all have experienced this and thus we can assume that some people have experienced it with us judging their intention. And with this maybe we can ask questions on people's intent or where they were getting to with it before filling ourselves with answers that would be prejudiced.

      Exactly, its important for us to not underestimate the expression of intent, thank you:)

Life Goes On

  By this point my emote is ‘a guy that writes about things we already know and don’t really think about' and no shit Sherlock, the blog is called Basics. Anyways, one of those things happened again, I zoned out and life started reflecting. We all know that life goes on, or have at least used the ‘time waits for no man’ proverb in those primary school JESMA compositions (yuck), but do you ever really think about what it means? I know you know what it means, but do you ever really think about it? Life is the greatest show ever with extremely unprecedented twists and turns right thereafter WWE. But that’s the thing, life hasn’t been updated yet so you cannot pause or simply skip parts that you aren’t the audience for, you go through it anyways. A lot of resonance with life moving on is almost always attached to death and helping people that are grieving and that’s true but I think the more important part is to understand that life goes on even when you are alive. You see friend, li

The Art of Gifting

I intended to write about this way early into last year because of how shit the gifts I received that year was, but life comes at you so fast I hadn’t gotten time to research and do the yadayada before writing an article such as this. But then I met someone that reignited that spark only this time it was different, the complete opposite. They gifted me with sequences that were the most thoughtful gifts ever, and I mean ever. But then it occurred to me that it was much more than the thoughtfulness of the gifts and thus we are here to explore gifting a little more. I am overflowing with emotion over those gifts as I write this; Before we delve into it, love languages are meant to be independent as well as integrated and as such, this article is not meant for gifters and lovers that only understand love in gifting rather this is an article for you if you intend to express a little more love into the world, to your loved ones, to your victims. You see dear reader, gifts aren

The Long Distance Dilemma

If you are in a long-distance relationship perhaps it isn’t the best thing for you to read my thoughts on it. You would not agree one bit with everything else in this piece but if you do insist on hearing me out- a grain of salt. (and no, Juja and Rongai do not count as a long-distance relationship). The following is a conclusion I came to on why I, which of course denotes personal preference, would not be in a long-distance relationship. Of course through a multitude of conversations with has-beens and even currents in long-distance relationships. So I know what you’re thinking, “he’s probably going to say his love language is physical touch and yadda yadda,” but you’re wrong. If you’ve read my blog you know I don’t believe in those. My opinions are not that superficial, unfortunately. I found that like a lot of things in life, ldr’s are difficult and complicated but basically in my opinion it came down to this. Love, in its essence, remains unaltered by distance. From how
