Speechless?

Marcel Marceau once said:
"Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?"

Now the question is: What makes YOU speechless?

Nothing!

One afternoon, a friend of mine sent me the URL to her blogspot.
To be honest, I was vaguely interested.
But then another friend sent me her blogspot…and another.
Only then was my attention diverted to see what it beholds.
I was sincerely surprised with what I saw.
As I read through the blog spots I felt that there were things about my friends that I didn’t know!
The longer you live, the more you see, the more you learn.
I was awe-struck with their taste of word choice… their profound expressions, their line of thoughts, and their intellect in literature and poetry.
The thing I loved the most was the fact that all their words came from their heart.
Words that flowed through their minds and straight into that empty page in their blog page.
What else can one dream of?? The chance of expressing oneself freely.
I instantly loved the creation!
I had my own blog page…the one before your very eyes on the screen of your PC right now.
Despite the fact that I was utterly interested and excited as I filled in the required data to start it up, once I was faced with that empty space where I should start writing my thoughts… I froze.
Nothing!
Nothing!
“Think Rania…. Twist your mind”, I thought.
How could it be that I couldn’t find anything to say!!
At that very moment, the song “isn’t it ironic” by Alanis Morrisette struck up in my mind. The lyrics were so vivid in my mind… “isn’t it ironic…. Don’t you think?”, I remembered.
Out of all the people with blogs, I should be one of the people with the most contributions
For heavens sake!! Copy writing is my profession… my career! It’s what I do for a living!
I get paid at the end of every single month to write in the most appropriate manner that which other people fail to express in their own words!
And now, when it was my turn to express my feelings…
Nothing!
