Words have a very powerful impact on things. So for this creative assignment I found an exercise called “Say it without saying it.” The basic plan of this is to make an ‘honest’ statement without directly naming an emotion. Which isn’t the easiest with how much importance emotion takes in the English language especially when claiming a statement. The statement I did choose was ‘I tried to remember, even if I don’t, it’d be foolish to tell you.’ The statement was pretty hard to convey emotion without directly saying it, I figured the statement could be a memory. I was attempting to convey a somber emotion, the empty feeling of knowing something but not being able to tell anyone. The perils of being alone with the thoughts of friends.
