How do you speak your mind when words seem immaterial? How do you tell someone something that no one will ever understand? How do you explain how you feel when it feels like a giant blender is making a supersized shake out of your emotions? I am communicating with you not as a blogger, not as a friend, not as a trying hard writer, but as a woman.

So how do you conquer the entangled mind of an Eve's descendant? How do you stop yourself from laughing when she makes a fool out of herself? How do you calm her when she's terrified and intimidated? How do you comfort her when she's sick of the millions of questions that plague her mind?

Ask me not. Every word slipping out of my tongue makes me feel more and more pathetic. It's getting worse and worse each day. Making people comprehend is like salvaging a tiny ice cube in a pool of fire. Impossible and crazy and pathetic to the highest power.

Sometimes people say the exact opposite of what they're meaning to say just because what they mean doesn't really have a meaning. Senseless. What the heck am I trying to say? Nothing. And oops... there I go again. Nothing when I really mean something. Nothing when what I really intend to say is something that everybody should know. Do you hear what I am trying to say when I'm not saying anything? Shallow yet deep. Quiet but screaming inside a soundproof shell. Though senseless as it may seem, you must admit that somehow, it makes a bit of a sense. Try to hear what I am not saying.

There are times when the thinker is not able to assimilate the totality of his own thoughts and when times like that come, someone must think and feel for the thinker. Someone must learn to put himself in the thinker's shoes to perceive the thoughts that he is trying to communicate. And yes, consider this as one of those times.

One must learn to be a woman sometimes.
