Should we be loud about the things that matter most to us, the things that others do not seem to hear?  Personally, I listen more often than I speak, but I know there are a lot of catastrophes and injustices in the world, and it makes me wonder if I am silent when I should be an activist of some sort. I thank God for the Internet, and for the variety of platforms in which we can exercise our first amendment right.  I often prefer the more archaic platform of print to read and write about the things that matter most to me.  Some nostalgic part of me thinks this often make a greater impression, with our personal penmenship styles, in additon to lasting longer in the thoughts of others, especially in this age of constant scrolling via online media.  Another part of me enjoys being crypic about the things I've handwritten.  I think I'll keep people guessing about how I shall compose my next novel, online self-publishing, or half-handwritten submission to publisher extraordinair... I'm guessing too, actually.
