Page 5: Of Visibility and
Understanding
she longs for a world where sentences and names have no need for capitalization, where every single letter is set in lowercase. even when there is a period before the designated place for the letter, people would just nonchalantly shrug and write the letter with its small version.
\she longs for a world where people would realize the significance of every single thing surrounding them, ranging from objects of utmost importance to even the silliest souvenirs. she hopes that people would someday see that no matter how everything seems so mundane and common, every thing has a function of its own and that everybody is important in their own little way./
she imagines a world where punctuation isn't needed a world where people can write or speak continuously as long as they wanted to without having to put periods after this comma after that and people could speak in run-on sentences without having to stop
/she imagines a world where people can be free to how they deliver their messages and no one would bother remarking that they're too noisy and talkative and people can still add more words since there is no period then there is no end
SHE HAS WANTED A WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO NEED FOR INDENTATION AND DESIGNATED FONTS AND PEOPLE CAN TYPE IN ALL CAPITALIZED LETTERS. EVEN IN FORMAL LETTERS OR INVITATIONS. THEY CAN FREELY TYPE AS HOW THEY'D WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE AND NOBODY WOULD OBJECT TO THEIR CHOICE.
/SHE HAS WANTED A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE CAN EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH ORIGINALITY AND CREATIVITY AND TO WHERE THE WORDS WE SAY WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CHOSEN NOR LIMITED BECAUSE FROM THE MOMENT WE OPENED OUR EYES TO THE WORLD WE CAN CHOOSE WHATEVER WORDS WE'D LIKE TO SAY, AND THERE WOULD NOT BE THINGS SUCH AS TABOO WORDS OR VULGARITY.\
she still hopes our world could have the things we say come out in visible speech bubbles, organized either in Ye Olde Algerian, Silly Ol' Comic Sans, Too Stiff Times New Roman, or just Plain Lil' Arial. She dreams of a world where we can either underline, bolden, or italicize the words we want to emphasize, so people can get the gist of what the other is saying.
\she still hopes our world's war would eventually halt, and where people coexist with one another. No racism, sexism, just no discrimination. She hopes people would decipher first what the speaker tries to portray before launching a fight, and to where people can finally understand one another./
((and then maybe she can finally live in a world of visibility and understanding))
