Expression. What a wonderful process!

My second way to express myself.  First ask yourself this, define yourself.  To clearly to define yourself, lets define what expression is.  Expression is the act of expressing or setting forth in words; the process of making known one's thoughts or feelings.  Expression has many meanings.  Algebraic Expression is an expression which is obtained by performing a finite number of the following operations on symbols representing numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to a power.  I'm not talking about countable or mathematical definition as of yet but the questions maybe algebraic or formulas. 

Now let us continue.  Pardon my expression, I'm going to crap on this.  The words that you use for showing your thought or feelings can be disturbing yet relieving.  Express yourself.  When reading words put in sentences then put on paragraphs then to chapters into books, can you see the writer's expression?  Are their faces of anguish or glee when you read those words? Mine.  It's simple.  I have a mind-numbing stare when words appear with the tapping of my fingers.  That's my expression.   

As Ice Cube from N.W.A. would say from the song, Express Yourself, "I'm expressin' with my full capabilities,  And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities, Cause some don't agree with how I do this.  I get straight, meditate like a Buddhist, I'm droppin' flava, my behavior is hereditary,  But my technique is very necessary."  I express not much in words but in actions.  My thoughts and feelings generate energy.  Energy release to my expression can cause pain.  Whether someone else or myself.  Here's another question, can you have expression without emotion or vice versa?  There are human emotions into which expressions are categorized.  What do you think Ice Cube's facial expression when singing that song?  Happy, contempt, or shame?  Unless you are a true diagnosed sociopath or psychopath, humans have emotion expression. Startling, huh?  Speaking of startle.  It's more like a reflex to intense sudden stimulation which is unique expression.

Words are not enough to express myself.  My mind goes off in tangents.  To left field.  To A1689-zD1 (which is the furthest galaxy in the universe).  Ways to express myself.  Being Optimistic; Smile or laugh.  Manage negative feelings; how to handle stress, anger, fear, worry, guilt, and the list goes on.  Overcoming shyness or other insecurities.  Now once I get the emotion controlled, then creativity will be clear or soon to follow.  Another verse of a song, Lateralus, from Tool, "Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines."  Thinking about this verse, I never think myself too seriously.  "Separates the body from the mind," tell me I should find my happy place.  It helps me find a place that inspires you and that will help spark your creativity.  Never be afraid to try something new.  Blogging for the day two and thinking to myself, how will you know whether or not you're a secret writing/painting/sewing genius if you never try it?  I say, relax. Get away from the outside world.  If you're interested in writing, read books.  If you're thinking about arts, go to a museum.  If you're wondering about sewing, hell... go to Tchad in Chicago, Illinois.  Just have the willingness to explore, learn, and discover.  Be unique, be creative... and just express yourself.

...but still I have no clue.
