Me and You

I've come to realize that the relationship between the writer and the reader is simple. Whether the writer writes to the world or to one person, the reader believes that the writer is addressing them. The reader is the one who gives the writing the personal touch. The imagined conversation. The hurtful disrespect. And even the loving praise. >pause<

I feel dizzy...AGAIN. Should I get that checked out?
>pause<  Sorry. I'll be fine.

Ignore that. The indirect yet personal relationship as you can see is clearly defined by what is expressed. The reader really controls what happens after they have seen the writer in figurative nude. Ignore, or not to ignore. Respond or not to respond. It is the prime example of a one-sided relationship in which both parties take responsibilities for their actions. A writer may not look for feedback but they continue to give. Maybe the way you show your attention isn't the same as the way I give my attention to you. I will still continue to address you.  Unequally proportioned is still in proportion just not divided out into ways that correspond with the normal voice of society. But what is "normal"? >pause< Different topic, some other time.

If I was ever worried about what you thought of me I would continue to cross my i(s) and dot my t(s). I didn't mix them up so read it again. But I appreciate the relationship between you and me. You the reader, and I, the one who speaks to you intimately.
