The Importance of Articulating My Thoughts

I find it fun to put my feelings and thoughts into words.

I've been thinking that a lot lately.

I think there are many things in this world that have no clear answer, or whose meaning can change 180 degrees depending on how you look at them.

It's quite difficult to convey exactly what you want to say so that it's understood 100% by the other person, because everyone's perception of words is different.
Take the word 'yabai' (crazy/intense/bad/awesome), which I hear a lot lately. I use it often too, but the scale of 'yabai' differs from person to person, and to begin with, what it refers to varies as well, so it's hard to get my true meaning across.

Until now, I've just gone by feeling and haven't worried about it much, but lately, it's been making me feel restless...

Once I start thinking, 'There must be a better way to say this!', I begin a search in my head, and the time spent finding the most fitting words begins. Haha.

When I find the perfect word, I'm so happy that I just can't help but grin.

For me, the key isn't using difficult words, but changing how I say things so they are understood by others. Haha.

This actually happened just the other day.

I could only think of the word 'hitotarashi' (charmer/people-person).
I wasn't satisfied with that, so I started a search in my brain.

The search result was:

"A person who naturally and unconsciously knows the exact words someone wants to hear most at that moment."

It was packed with everything I wanted to say, and my brain was buzzing. Dopamine was flowing.
It was pure bliss.

Because the meaning of the word 'hitotarashi' varies from person to person, I've felt lately that putting things into words is truly important.
