Thoughts to share, when no one's around: 4 options!

     When you quickly find yourself living alone (even if it is temporary), there may come a time in which you have a thought that you just need to share. In some circumstances you might not have very many options. So on one of those many lonely nights, with billions of thoughts racing through your head.... at least a few things will want to be heard.

     Here are my options as I see them. Maybe you can relate to a few....


  1) Hold it in.

  2) Run out and find the first person who stops, and start talking.

  3) Talk to yourself.

  4) Talk to the T.V., computer, or books.


  That was pretty much all I came up with. This is the problem with those solutions.


  1) If you hold it in:

        a) You might go a little batty

        b) The next loved one you talk to will THINK you've gone batty. 

           Think about it, you're probably speaking really fast, rambling incessantly, 

           and unable to let them get a word in edgewise.

  2) If you start talking to the first person you meet.

        a) Well, you will out of necessity have to speak as much as possible as

           fast as possible. (Already- this is questionable) 

        b) If they are still there- check for these three things: Are they about to

           hit you? Have they called the cops? Do they speak English? Do you 

           care? (The last question is what kills it for me.)

  3) Talking to yourself.

        a) In my opinion, this is the best option. A small comment here and 

           there. It relieves that urge. You can hopefully remember to tell someone

           for REAL later. Most importantly, it gets out.

  4) Talking to the T.V., computer or books. 

        a) Really, let's call this what it is. This is not talking. This generally leans 

           towards ranting. When you have been irritated enough by whatever is 

           on the tele, or that you've just read on the net or in a book, and so you

           must comment. You have to comment. However we can only hope that 

           while this is bound to happen, these types of irritations are not so constant. 

           It wouldn't be healthy. For that matter it wouldn't be prudent for me to suggest

           it.

     As you have read, letting out the occasional thought, is the way I choose to go. It might not be for everyone. It serves me well. Still can't wait until there are 2 people here again, but it will do for now.
