I suppose my poor way of articulating it might be the tension between the writer's/artist's compulsion to create and just "being here now." Or the pedestrian version of it might be for most of us, just put down the goddamn phone and listen to the music! Your expression of it is of course more poetic and nuanced.
I think this has gotten progressively "worse" for me the further intro sobriety I get, particularly from weed. When I smoked, it was really easy for me to get lost in the world rather than always trying to narrate what I was experiencing. But, such is life. I'm not necessarily bothered by it—it just pops into my mind a lot lately 🙈
I feel like you have, somehow, describe myself too. Thank you for putting it into words, i think about me more like an ‘inevitable’ artist of life now.
What this sounds like is putting emotion/feeling into word, and then getting it to transfer from word to feeling again to the recipient. This has two issues. The creation of the word that houses the feeling, and hoping, because there’s no way to know, that the feeling translates out of word as original / intended. That’s way writing is such a crapshoot, and so rewarding when it works!

I love that, great description 🎨
You articulate so well!!! about not being able to articulate!! What an irony 😅
The irony is not lost on me, but I'm glad you thought it was articulated well 😆
