The "voice" in my head

Identifying and describing my style is a new thought, I might have to think about that a bit. Do I even have one? But I have noticed that when I talk to myself, (which I seem to do often even in chem lab...sometimes a bit awkward) that in effort to understand things better I compare to something that I do understand or have experienced, my kids, the garden, my goats, cooking, my bees, etc. then I can put it all in perspective and move forward.  So if I were to say what my "voice" is like.....maybe it is like the one in my head that tells stories and makes comparisons to bring understanding to myself and others. What is difficult, at times, is that what makes sense to me might not make sense to someone else. For instance, many would compare personalities cliches with some character out of a famous novel, But I, I compare them to my goats, bees or a herb in my garden. Believe it or not goats and people have many of the same good and bad characteristics but in goats there is no shame or hiding it so it is much easier to identify and understand. Not many understand goats (or want to) and so as good as my comparisons are I try to keep them to myself.....your welcome!

  1. I like how you identify your voice. It's very unique to you and how you live your life and I feel like that is what everyone's voice depends on. Our voice is constructed through our life choices and our outlooks and the type of person we want to be.
