ARTiculated

I realized I was so upset yesterday and wanted to CRY bc I felt misunderstood. 

I tried & tried to CRY. 

As promised ;) 

Nothing came. 

Got me thinkn! 

It wasn't that I was sad, angry, or MAD.

I was frustrated. 

And that felt the same inside as just wanting to CRY so bad. 

I sat in it. 

What I came to was that my frustration was justified. 

Nice. 

My feelings were justified. 

I was frustrated bc...

I did a stand up set that got ZERO laughs. 

It was brand new material. 

It was vulnerable. 

It was exposing. 

My frustration was a result of my not being able to convert my funny ideas to the audience.

I had these incredibly funny concepts. That I was trying to translate. 

My ideas were HILARIOUS. 

But the way I translated them came out as: 

Zhou bsy bsk wuoa qjla mbdj...

I could see...they didn't GET it. 

It's not their fault.

It's mine :) 

I have to figure out how to ARTiculate my funny ideas! 

Here's how it goes...

I have a funny idea. 

I write it out. 

& hone it to make it as clear as possible. 

I perform it. 

They GET it. 

Or

They Don't GET it. 

I feel satisfied when I am able to translate a funny idea in my brain. 

I feel frustrated when I am NOT able to translate a funny idea in my brain. 

That's OKAY...

I need to embrace the frustration. 

Work Through It. 

Keep honing the idea until finally it's able to be translated. 

Today, when was the last time you felt like you spoke a different language then all those around you?!?! FRUSTRATING...riiight?!? 

Did this experience help you learn a new language ;) 

The beauty is when...

art becomes ARTiculated;)
