Are You Listening to What I'm Saying? — Jake Trustin

Admin

I find myself at times in life frustrated that people aren’t listening đồ sộ bủ. I get frustrated that they aren’t interested in the things that I’m interested in. They don’t want đồ sộ hear the ideas that I think are important and want đồ sộ share.

In the age of the mạng internet and social truyền thông media, most people’s response is simply that you’re not saying enough, or you’re not saying (posting) it at the right time. If you don’t speak loudly and frequently enough, no one can hear you. But isn’t creating something and slinging it đồ sộ the masses with no thought đồ sộ how it might help or hurt the people you’re sending it đồ sộ, just another size of modern spam?

With a barrage of truyền thông media and advertisements in our face every single day, isn’t our attention one of the most valuable things we own? Our attention is what allows us đồ sộ choose everyday what we choose đồ sộ let in and what we choose đồ sộ push away. It is ours đồ sộ own and ours đồ sộ spend at our own discretion.

I’ve found that in my real world life detached from the mạng internet, most people only want đồ sộ listen đồ sộ what I have đồ sộ say if I’m saying something specific đồ sộ them. No one really cares about the things I shout at the random masses if it’s not individually aimed đồ sộ benefit them.

Beyond that, most people don’t care đồ sộ listen đồ sộ anyone who won’t first listen đồ sộ them. Most people don’t care at all about you, if you don’t first care about them. That’s a fact that’s been around since the beginning of time. For some reason, many of us are being told that no one listen’s đồ sộ you because you're not speaking enough. Maybe, however, people aren’t listening đồ sộ you because you’re not listening đồ sộ them first. And many people aren’t listening đồ sộ you when you talk because you’re not even giving them the courtesy of aiming your voice in their specific direction.

My hope with the future art I create is that I’m not just making it with the intention of throwing it out with no specific direction. I want my art đồ sộ have meaning behind it. I want a message behind it that is purposeful, and directly spoken đồ sộ people lượt thích bủ. I hope I can make something that the people who know bủ, and interact with bủ on a daily basis, can benefit from as well.

I don’t want đồ sộ use the mạng internet as a size of truyền thông media detached from my real reality. I want đồ sộ make sure that the messages I’m sending on here are simply an extention of the things I’m already saying in real life.
