I Hear Voices

[strangevictory]

Not literally, thank god. 'Cause that would suck, royally. But there's been this voice in my head, for a very long time. Back during my Indiana years, my heaven-sent talk therapist helped me to identify it as my "fear voice." I am pretty sure that everyone has a fear voice. And it is not only part of their life, it is part of them.

Dude, read this blog post: http://notjustcute.com/2011/02/09/praise-junkies-beware/

I know it's about small children, but it really hit home for me, possibly explaining the way I used to be (and kind of still am, though I'm trying to get better).

I have that voice too. It's a nasty little bugger. Sometimes it says things like, "Wow, you suck at blogging. You've been at this nearly 4 years and in the grand scheme, your traffic is nothing, blogs that are 6 months old have as much traffic as you, etc."

But sometimes you need to let the voice of passion speak a little louder. Or you can stop, but see how stifled you feel not making...even if it's not perfect.
