Typing on a computer is so different than writing in a book, or on a piece of paper.
The emotions just aren't captured.
These words you read, you don't know how I looked when I wrote them (or rather, when I typed them).
It's just computerized alphabets.
But when you actually write something, you can sort of sense how the writer felt when pouring a little part of their heart out.
Are there tear stains on the paper?
Is the ink smudged?
Is the writing lazy?
All these things, all these factors contribute to how one will digest and interpret the words read.
On the computer, though. It's just different.
Monotonous. You hear the click click clicking of the keyboard.
"I could type faster than this". "No, no, no. this isn't right. I'll just delete this". Nobody will ever find out how many times you rewrote a sentence on the computer.
You don't even think as much anymore.
You just write.
And write.
And write.
Like right now.
I'm not thinking of anything. I'm not thinking of words to say. I'm just typing.
Just typing, reading the words in my mind as they appear on the screen.
Without emotion. Without meaning.
What?
