A long time ago, my cousin and I were joking about something and we came up with a carrot joke about it. The carrot thing became our "thing" for a very long time, if we're bored, we'd just build on it and continue laughing. A couple of years later, in order to show me she really appreciates me being there in her life, she dedicated something in her graduation statement to me, she said "Cousin Yasmine: carrots!".
Life was simple back then, you could send hidden messages to people without being afraid they'd misinterpret them. Nowadays, you got to make sure to disguise your messages carefully so that other people don't get them, but only your intended audience do.
Generaly in life, I dont tend to use hidden messages , but sometimes.. as the saying goes "desprate times call for desprate measures". The ironic thing is, how can one know that their message has been read and understood?!
On one hand, you have to be subtle enough with your message so that only the intended person understands it, otherwise it's not hidden. On the other hand, you dont want to be too subtle that the intended person doesnt get it, otherwise it's not message.At that point, you got two options; either play on a sentimental cord that brings back memories for the intended person or drop hints and wait for a reaction.
Of course, the problem with hidden messages is, how do you know that no hidden messages are being sent your way! He who plays with fire ends up getting burnt, or in this case, he who plays with hidden messages always gets confused. You might believe you're getting hidden messages while there are none but also, you might be missing messages that may change your life! Ironic.. isnt it!
Well, sometimes we like to play a bit of mind games, and some other times we can be honest, but most times, we're somethign in between. Since I have not made up my mind yet about what I want to do next, and I'm sure my intended hidden messages buddy hasnt either; we might as well enjoy the game.
If you're playing this game , here you go...In 1991, i have heard you on 8. I have read your words today as I listened to U2!
Cookie.. thanks for the inspiration!
