The narratives of the modern day

The list of things i hear in a daily basis from my friends would range from "He's moving" "he's advancing pretty far in life" all the way to "He wants to hurt himself..." "He's just left us" which may seem odd for a single day, but it happens if one goes around enough. But it never gets to someone who thinks ahead and not on what has already happened, because you cannot change what has happened, but you can change what is going to happen.


I elected not to choose one of the "It gets better" project videos, as none seemed powerful enough to move me to words for them.




Youtube and Twitter, both tell a story in different perspectives. One gives you a line of words thought out and projected, allowing you to give the reader the emotional perspective. Youtube becomes more distant, letting the speaker or video itself be the visual aid and every single portion of it. "A picture paints a thousand words" so to speak. But in the end, you can't really have similarities save for the stories themselves. The same story is placed on two sides of a double edged sword, cutting the same way at a different angle.
