The Mind of a Yapper

Hello everyone. It's the third month of 2024 and every day I am fascinated by how fast the time passes by. If time had an equation, it would be so different back when I was five years old and now. I think the equation of time back then would be like a constant function, but now would be exponential. Guess, what? I just yapped about how time is a weird concept.
If anyone asks about my passion, strength, or hobby, then I would answer yapping. For those that don’t know what yapping means, it means to talk informally for an annoying length or in a stupid way according to Dictionary.com. I’ve always been someone who loves to communicate and share ideas with others, but the amount of words that come out of my mouth recently is astronomical. I get shocked by my excessive talking and the emptiness of the content. If I want to tell a specific story, then I will end up talking about 7 random stories for 38 minutes. It’s honestly impressive at this point.
I embrace my ability to talk about anything at any time with anyone as I like to believe that it is charismatic in a way. But the funny story is that I didn’t notice my characteristics in talking excessively until several of my friends mentioned it. It was around last April when one of my friends asked me why I talk so much, but I thought he was being sarcastic as a man does. Later, another friend interrupted me and called me the mayor of Yapperville. At first, I wasn’t offended because I thought he was saying some nonsense and didn’t know what “yapping” meant. But as he explained and backed up with evidence, I thought to myself “Do I really talk that much about nonsense?” The answer is, YES I DO. As I became more conscious of my characteristics, I started a social experiment where I talk “normally” to people and record the number of people who comment something related to “yapping”. The results from the past four months are that 12 people (7 females and 5 males) have commented on my characteristics. So, the next step of my social experiment is to control my excess talking and record the responses from my participants (friends).
I will update you guys on the results of my experiment in the next few months. Overall, my goal in 2024 is to speak more eloquently and cohesively. And most importantly, I would like to become more mysterious. So, you might see me training like the people in the attached link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4VjBjHP-e0).
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy my upcoming blogs, and thank you for reading them! (I might yap less in my upcoming blogs, or not.)
Chinie xoxo
