Dear Decorum,

Dear Decorum,

Hello, I would love to introduce myself if you would allow me your time. You see, I am here to help. I see you are struggling with how to express something inside of you. It needs release.

Trust me, I understand. Something hangs over you and it will either be reckoned with or one day implode within. The fellow humans in your social circle must be acknowledged, and I will guide you through the task. Dis-ease keeps us silent... when your neighbor lends you something that you break. Or your best work buddy takes your shift because your dead grandmother is in the hospital. Or repeatedly taking their stapler slowly drove them crazy. How shall you repay such a kindness that imposed suffering upon the giver? Or a quandary within familial circles: how to address a condescending gift with grace? Do they consider you helpless and pity you? What will they think if you do not acknowledge their help?

Eggshells surround us, but fret not. Come under my wing and let's fly above it. My greatest joy in these life experiences of mine has been Card Writing and Gift Giving. Skills that I promise will guide us through. With a lyrical pen, find me dancing through the nuances of need to deliver a poignant promise of your appreciated sociability. Family will be silenced from gratitude, too engrossed in their newfound toys to lessen any of your joys.

The ploy here is to encourage Curated Letters and Gifts that bring about a desired effect of conviviality to the recipient. All you need is a One-on-One session to understand the full gravity of the debt owed (or how a pseudo-debt was given life). Sit in your understanding of that relationship. Really sit. Invite understanding, and then believe y'all will work together through confusions to discover what presentation of words (and/or items) will yield the highest potential of crossing over a bridge. When you invite genuine care into the mix, I swear that kindness won't let that troubled bridge burn any time soon.

Maybe this verbiage displeases you. Perhaps a less laudatory approach will do? Ah, yes, simplicity brings us closer to an eloquent rhetorical aura. This being the case, let's break this concept down into complexly simplistic advertisement catch-words. A means to appease the eyes and facilitate word-echoes that resonate with ferocity:

When the Moment Counts:

Impress!

Lost for Words?

Ghost Giver Curations Finds Your Phonics

Guilty Gut? Dull Relations?

Less Worry!

More Assurance!

Social Strength Awaits

How did this do? These problems of yours, were they seen through?

Let me know where to go. I only wish to ease social flow.

The point is that a little poetic sensibility may just be the catalyst to the elevated ground you seek with your friends and family. Words are convoluted. Sounds are iridescent. Approaching verbiage with full weight of the effects yielded is important. To pontificate produces an ease in people pushing. If we want to yield a sociable result, then let's take words and their mediums with a serious tone. Or these avoidable struggles will take on new forms for you to further bemoan.

In my experience, personal disconnects wither in the face of an effective couplet. In other words, affirm the other's success. Plead for their understanding that their hands are what you need. No one wants to walk along a path where their feet step upon disdain and pain. We find ourselves in this grand play of social niceties. Each of us a player, assuming a new role as scenes shape and form around us. Encouragement keeps others privy to the need for them in the continual forming of identity. For what else do we have?

Your Devoted Milieu,

Julia Rae
