Voice Lessons

by Angels in my Ear

Rated: E · Book · Personal · #1909095

My journey to find my writer's voice and the lessons I have learned on the way.

I can hear the faint strains my writer's voice calling me. After years of silence, she is starting to speak to me again. I find I can hear her more clearly everyday. As I listen to the words she softly whispers to me, I want to sing them for the world. But, to make them heard, they must be more than lyrics. They must be the music of the heart. This is my hunt for the melody.

If you want to learn more about me, I have an extended bio

You're not alone. I get these feelings. Depression messes with perception. Hard to reach out, be understood. Writing is a great way to process these feelings.
I support you.

In response to "Haunting Tune"

I want to thank you all for your kind comments. And not just that, but for reading it in the first place. As I read over my blog I can't believe how many of my entries focus around my loneliness. And then, every time I think I've found a new friend or new purpose, something gets in the way, my efforts fail, and my depression gets reinforced. I've been practically non-existent this year and have not communicated with so many of my friends here. It's heartwarming to know that you're all still around and here for me. Even after my neglect and lack of communication. It's nice to know that there are people who care about you and not what they will get out of it In these days of social media, I feel even more alone. People care less about the substance than do about the numbers. Thanks for listening. I hope I find a way to get back to writing.

I don't have a lot of experience with depression, but I thought I might throw this idea out there...

Maybe, since your family is big on family history, ask your children questions about their childhood and their parents. Ask in the context of family history, and about both parents, so it is less biased then if you just ask 'Was I good mom?'

Get them to recount happy memories. Then you can read or listen to those happy memories and remind yourself how happy and well adjusted your children are, and that comes from knowing they are loved and having good support.

Please try to remember that your fears are most likely a symptom of your illness and that they aren't facts, it feels that they are, but they're sneaky and very convincing. I know it's really hard (honestly, I completely get how hard it is) but try to keep doing things that normally help. Talk to people, on WDC if not in your 'real life'. Know that we're here for you. There will be blue skies again. Honestly

God and the Friend-Finder Ochestra! My mind totally saw marquee there for some reason. Too tired.

I'm cool with your God making sneaky covert hookups behind my back. I like my friends, right?

Oh yeah! We totally took over your blog here.

I'm an ENTJ to your ENFJ... Thinking not Feeling. That's where we differ most, Angels in my Ear

. Clearly... you totally view the world through feelings, and they're just not that important to me I guess.

I would be introverted, which I am sooooo not. Wish I was sometimes... a little more so anyway.

Looks like we actually just have one in common, Elle

. But hey, extroverted counts for lots. I think we make a good team... and Aundria and I are like totally in-sync with our methods but with different perspectives. Totally weird.

Oh, and you can call me whatever you want.

You know you just think I'm a wicked Cinner.

Even Charlie still calls me CinnFrin sometimes, and how much shorter is "Ky"? He actually types more than needed sometimes just because it fits me I guess.

Riot

is the laziest of all. She just calls me K.

Which works... since I usually call her J. Pfft. We're just a lazy, and that's no JK.

Anyway, I still think of you as "Elle" rather than "Ellie". I say "Elle" and then correct it to "Ellie" because... I know better. I just thought of it one way for so long that it sorta stuck. And yes, I have mentioned you with real words before!

And Aundria too, for that matter.

You wanna know what's wired? One of my daughters is named Kylee! It pretty cosmic right? She may not believe in God, but I see him in orchestrating my friendship with both of you.

Take that Cinn.

We still haven't made that contest, Cinn. We totally should. Would be epic. One entrant for each personality type.

Whereas you and I only have one letter in common, and Kylie and I have two.

Calling her Kylie feels weird. I usually use people's real names far more than I use handles, but she feels like Cinn to me!

Purpose?

Why do I always feel like I need to justify myself? Even when no one is asking. And then I wonder why isn’t anyone asking? It’s like not only have I given up but so has everyone else. No one expects anything from me so I don’t need to justify myself. I can’t decide if I like that or not.

I’ve lost several friendships. Several really close heartbreaking friendships. Looking back I can see what the were seeing and how my actions may have affected them. But they never told me or gave me a chance to rectify it. My friendship wasn’t enough for them to work on it with me. It’s like they took what they needed from me That didn’t want to work.
