Worth/The Meaning of Words
I wasn’t really sure how to come back to Tumblr, so I just decided to do it. I like Tumblr as a platform because I can type as much as I want without limit (or if there is one, I haven't reached it yet), and I like the “Take it or leave it” vibe. Where you can give whatever post you want the time of day, or just scroll on by. Which brings me to my first and favorite example of worth, time. Giving people or their work the time to appreciate it. Whether that appreciation is negative or positive, it doesn’t matter. Mors certa, vita incerta. Your time is limited and their work has impacted some of that time out of your life. You paid them in attention. To some, this has the highest value. Just the idea of their name being known. Now I’ll allow some time for you to joke.. get it? But when someone’s work is worth your time, it’s worth your attention. And depending on how much it’s actually impacted you, you may want to bring other people’s attention to it.
And just because it’s the one that means the least to me, but holds value over everything so it bears mention... Money. (This topic requires it’s own MoW).
These little tidbits of me I’ve deemed “The Meaning or Words”, isn’t anything profound or insightful. I’ve just always had a fascination with words as a whole. Like how each letter comes together in a series of sounds to create an object of meaning? Or how one word can mean multiple things, and have it’s meaning change depending on it’s context? I’ll probably discuss that more in later posts.
But expect to see more of these. I’ve been locked in my head for a bit now and have stored up a lot of thoughts to spill to the whole internet. I haven’t been doing SHIT with myself as far as production goes, so I’m excited to start..expressing(?) again!
