I am posting this on behalf of a good friend of mine. Matthew, this is for you.
"____ee____" words are very harsh, more objects.
STEEL
PEEL
WHEEL
SPEECH
SCREECH
SPEED
WEED
FRISBEE
GREEN
SIXTEEN
SCREEN
SNEEZE
TREE

SEE
"____ea_____" are more like emotions. They have a connotation.
LEAD
DEAD
IDEAL
TEAM
BEAUTY
CLEAN
EASY
DREAM
HEAR
HEAT
TEAR
SPEAK
SWEAT
REAL
So yes. That would be Matt's idea. He reminds me everyday. Hope this makes you feal good. :)

What a World
We live in a really cool time. Like, really cool, in that we can document everything we do and keep it not only in memories, but in actual physical or digital ways. Forever.
So I have gotten into vlogging, not personally (although I am really considering starting) but rather watching other peoples vlogs. I follow a few fairly religiously and find myself genuinely caring about these people and the lives that I get to peek into. I think the best ones that I follow don't take the time to primp and preen their videos to only highlight thee best parts of their lives... They do not just choose their most interesting adventures and make beautifully crafted videos. No, sometimes the topics are beautifully mundane, and in that they are more relatable and real. I find that I fall into this weird delusion that I know these people, but in a sense I kind of do. I'm invited to share moments of their life with them, because they aren't playing a character, they're just presenting their own ideas in something that is kind of a public diary. I love it. Not only can they look back on their life later, but they have the ability to share their story with millions of people, even if only 100 tune in and watch, or for that matter, even if only 1 chooses to watch.
Somethings are not meant to be vlogged, I know, and privacy is something to be held with discretion, but that being said, having a different platform to document your life and your feelings and your experiences is really really neat, especially if others can share in that with you, and by episode 3 find ourselves rooting for you. Unlike just a blog like this, there is a face put to the words, a voice, and a light in the eyes that comes when you care about what it is that you are vlogging about. This is what makes this outlet so cool, a far more human connection and powerful impact.
We love to know we aren't alone. Maybe that's the only reason I do this. I do it for myself, so I can look back and read and remember, but really, at the core, it is for some strange validation that someone hears me. To you vloggers out there, we hear you, and you're great. I don't care if you think you're more intuitive than you are, I don't care if you feel alone, or feel self important.. you're doing a big thing. Thank you.
