All words are lies
Nietzsche said "all words are lies and language is pointless"
He suggests that language creates concepts that misrepresent reality, leading us to forget that these concepts are merely human inventions rather than true reflections of the world.
It is real.
Consuming only text can make you mentally ill due to lower-dimensionality of language.
To expand the mind again, I like to meditate on all of the colors in a garden that could not possibly be captured with words.

Yes, I agree that words do not adequately represent reality, but that is because words are just that, words. We must not forget and confuse the word, with what the word points to. What the word points to is real beyond what language can express.
The word “ball” points to a real ball. The word “ball” in itself is not the ball. By the same logic, words can mean ideas, but words are not ideas.
Cheers to you!
Being surrounded by natural things is soothing.
