Description Sometimes, words get in the way.

Sometimes, we say so much that no one hears what we mean.

Sometimes, when you talk enough, when you make enough excuses, the words that you're screaming go unheard.

Check it out,

~Sophie118 made a companion piece to Nothing's Wrong: Why Can't You See?
(Made with my permission.)
~TatooPerdiguerra Made Leave out All the Rest , inspired by Nothing's Wrong and the description quote.
I'm fine, I'm okay by ~funkygirl4ever95lit

If you make something inspired by this piece, send me a link, I'll add it to the list. (:

Edit:
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what the text says. When I originally posted this, I never intended to share that, because the point was that you wouldn’t be able to tell. But then I kind of caved and typed up the first four layers (which in the piece are the lightest shades of gray that get covered over). You can read them here: [link] And that’s all I’m ever going to be able to post (unless I remake it) because this wasn’t a PSD file and all the layers all got smushed as a .tif, and I can’t remember exactly what I wrote.

Also, I’m going to try to reply to all the comments and at least attempt to visit all the people that faved this – but it may take a while because I’m really slow when it comes to that. So thank you so much for making my Monday if you’re reading this. (:

Edit #2:
I have to admit that I can't keep up with the number of comments and faves this piece gets. I need a whole other message center so I can separate the messages for this from the rest of my gallery lol. I do read everyone's comments, and I appreciate you taking the time to actually write out your thoughts on it. If I don't reply it's only because I can't think of anything intelligent to say and I don't want to double the number of pages by posting some variation of 'Thank you'. This description is getting long...

Edit #3:
I feel like there is this, and then there is my gallery. Please do not +watch based on this because I do not make visual poetry. This is where I wite: ~Ebony-Snow but it's not like this, fyi.

The realness of this piece really touched me... it's very moving, in particular to those who have known the feeling of letting those words fly out. Things get jumbled in your head, and you have to trade the feelings you can't speak for the lies you shouldn't (but do). And what's funny is you're lying so as not to hurt that one important person in your life, and you're hurting them anyway.

Needless to say, I would like to favorite this piece if you don't at all mind.

RealToph [2010-02-01 02:18:08 +0000 UTC]

Really, this is just a wonderful concept.
And you represented it beautifully.
It's so interesting, that people will often respond this way to questions about how they're feeling(I'm fine, it's all good, I don't want to talk about it, etc.) but a lot of the time you're waiting for them to figure it out themselves, or, an even worse feeling, you really do want to talk about it but you can't for fear of not knowing how or being seen as "weird" or whatever reason.

You really did a fantastic job of representing the inner conflict that goes one when people ask these questions, I love it

asuminakuki14 [2010-01-16 05:35:16 +0000 UTC]

its always one of those moments, whether its someone who cares but you dont want them to know, or its someone you care about but you want them to figure out what's REALLY wrong almost as if to see they really know you to see, what limit it takes for them to try to find out whats wrong and to find what to do to help. And the biggest word of all that can be a lie and truth; "nothing's wrong".

I'll be the first in 2010 to compliment you on your piece.
Most things have been said, so I'll just say - I admire it very much.

Thank you for sharing it here.


Best regards

Simply beautiful. I love the concept behind this piece and generally how it turned out overall. The fading of the words and how they repeat and overlap and eventually end up in an incomprehensible mess was genius. Just like how it usually turns out in real life. Great job!

Michael-J-Caboose [2009-12-11 14:16:15 +0000 UTC]

i know exactly how this feels... words do get in the way sometimes... and when you say your fine and tell them not to worry... what you thinking is, "please notice that I'm ling and I really need your help..."
