Title: Words

Show me the person who understands that words have no meaning - that's the person I want to talk to.

this has been my downfall

I realised this early on, and since then have always had a distaste for words - which is why i prefer instrumental music to 'word' songs.

but it has undermined my ability to communicate with words, which is also a valuable skill. Because I just didn't believe in them, so I couldn't get behind them.

In later years, I made more of an effort, and I do have some talent at it, so have learnt to trick the world there. But I still don't believe in words.

You do have talent at them!  :)

Maybe they are a necessary vice, eh?
Up to a point, anyway...
