It's like wasting so much potential because I cant express myself properly and i'm bad at communication. I mean not just words, also body language stuff. My life is passing by and I cant change myself

It's like having a HEMI but running through a Fiat's drivetrain.

That's why I've taken to the written word. Whether it's my books or my poetry I can say things in writing exactly the way I want to. Being able to edit my work is a godsend. In person I can't always say what I mean and sometimes feel foolish.
