Hi tealflowers, SB & everyone,
When I was young, when I first began to write down the words I heard in my head, I did because If mot, those werds were lost, as if gone forever. that's what I felt at the time. It was a sort of compulsion to write them down, as Ive mentioned elsewhere, like taking dictation. When I heard the words begin, sounding not really like my own voice, they wouldn't wait, so I'd have to get to my paper & pen & just write them as I heard them. Sometimes I could barely keep up.
It's not like that anymore. Now I have to open a space, maybe, a sort of mood, or what I'm thinking & feeling needs more exploration to sort out. For these times, I have to recognise & sit & permit myself this time & place to write whatever comes to mind, & go where it goes say how it says, just write it. The difference now is I am consciously allowing my thoughts & feelings more directly onto the PC.
Oh, I do miss the pen & paper.
Funny how my head voice still doesn't sound quite like the voice from my mouth.
Especilly for you, tealflowers, I'm sure you have a lot to say. My best advice, is to, if you want to, Write down these words:
This is my space to say
& you fill in the rest. If you need, sit for a bit, quie & still, maybe close your eyes, & listen. Soon yu will hear something. I don't want to suggest what that might be, because it varies from person to person. There is nothing you can say that is wrong... & no one ever has to see what you write, unless you choose to share it. Repeat as often as you feel.
😺 Go for it!
