Dr. Suess Moment

So when I was in elementary school my friends and I had this saying Whenever we would rhyme something totally unexpected we would try to yell Dr Suess moment Now every time I rhyme something I secretly say that in my head It helps me remember the good times when there was no homework or drama or worries about college I was in complete bliss yet in chaos I love looking back on moments like this because it is the ones that I will remember for a life time They are the memories I hope I can make more of because they are fun to look back on and think I actually had a social life


In that whole paragraph I didn't use one period or comma or exclamation point or anything. Did you still have a tone of voice and imagine the situation. Periods are there so we can end a thought and move on to the next. What if our thought is continuous and has no end? I have a horrible habit of writing run on sentences because I get so side tracked on what I want to say and I will just transition right into another subject. I even do this while I'm speaking. I will start telling a story and then think of something else or say like a side comment that has nothing to do with anything and then I will try to remember what I was talking about before with no luck and then just stop talking. Is that bad or is that normal to have a train of thought and then think of something else because you are just too busy to be stuck on one thing for so long? What does having no punctuation even mean? When I look at a paragraph I don't straight look at the periods, I look at the whole piece. By not putting a period but indicating that there is one by starting the next sentence with a capital, does our brain see that and recognize it like when you put 2 ands together. No punctuation means a continuation

  1. You're anecdote is so adorable and it really touched me that you still have that same kid inside you after all these years. Also, the fact that you have a propensity to write run-ons is actually a positive, mentally. It means you have a plethora of ideas and thoughts processing in your mind that you want to express onto paper! Going all Montague style! So do your thang, anybody can add punctuation to a text but your thoughts/ideas are only unique to you. #Aye
