Some people create trouble for themselves by speaking too freely. Words spill out of these peoples' mouths as though they have a will independent of the owner of the lingual equipment that forms them, and you cannot help but feel at least some sympathy for that bewildered owner as his face twists into an impressionist display of the helplessness resulting from the disconnect of his mind and his tongue...
I, fortunately, do not have this issue.
What is unfortunate is that I have this other disconnect, between my mind and my fingers, and they just start writing...and, oh god, what have i written, and why, oh why, is it so damn easy to put it out there..............?????? These letters just start making these words just start making these ideas, these sentences and then, "click!" And it's out there, and I'm out there, all of my carefully constructed personal boundaries betrayed by my fingers.
At least when people talk, they can count on the inadequacy of human memory to eventually forgive them. But writing...oh writing! It endures...
