Communication

There are so many ways of communicating. Talking, whispering, laughing, writing, emailing, texting...the list goes on!
Do each of us have our own special way of communicating? They say actions speak louder than words. I was watching something on TV a few days ago that said only a small percentage of communication with others comes from words. The other percent is all body-language. Such as eye-contact, posture, facial expression.
When you think about that do we really need words to communicate to one another?
You've all seen it before. Two people's gazes meet across the room, they send certain "signals" to each other to tell the other what their thinking. No words needed there.
Sometimes something we're writing or reading can communicate something to us. Writing letters back and forth is a form of communication. Texting, for how primitive it can sometimes be, is also a form of communication.
The telephone is yet another. This again may tie into body language. Albeit you can't physically see the person you're talking to you can hear emotion in their voice, and in turn that emotion may lead you to speculate about their body language.
With all of these forms of communication we are constantly connected to those around us. Each of us undoubtedly has our favorite form of communication, unsurprisingly mine is writing! :). I have also fallen into the clutches of texting, albeit I only text one person! To communicate with my Grandparents who live in Upper Michigan I email back and forth, or talk to them when they call every Thursday night.
Some of us fall into routines with communication. We find a comfortable monotony that suits us and our personalities. More often than not, writing blogs, emails and short stories helps me express my "voice" and my "personality". I think that whatever form of communication we favor the most reflects our personality. I am an introverted person, therefore in English class I may not be all that talkative. Unlike some people! :). While others enjoy talking endlessly.
Whatever form of communication you prefer helps you connect with and understand the world, and distinguishes you as an individual. Which is something we're all striving for.
