My true voice?

For some time, I have engaged myself in writing. Time to reevaluate.


I find myself surrounded by statements about ”what to think of” and ”how to do it”. I fear I am about to lose my voice while reading this multitude of advice. I search for a voice telling me what to do. That is, what to listen to, what to take in and what to let pass.

Finally, this multitude of words and sentences about writing is piling up on me. I feel inadequate in guarding my soul. At this moment in time, I buy words, collect words, utter words and write them down. Sometimes I even read them. It is too much for me. I need to see beneath my outer shells of ambition and straight thinking! I need to focus on my ability to reconnect to my soul and make it speak!

Connect to my soul? Does this mean to connect to some primitive level in me? A level not yet able to use words. Make him express himself using an authentic voice. To what voice should I listen? This primitive one not knowing the concept of words? Or the one shuffling a lot of words the way I do?

  1. Hey Goran, Just write. You’ve got the words. You’ve got the heart. You’ve got the mind. You don’t need advice. Just write. Write what you see, what you feel, what you think. We’ll read it, you always have something worthwhile to say. just do it. Love, Dr. Bob

    1. Thank you very much for your comment. They did really “work” on me. Sometimes I feel extremely lonely having this voice of mine. The world looks to me as a very odd place. It is too easy to conclude that there must be something wrong with me. The pure statistics go that way. That is, I have not met that many having a voice similar to mine.
