On trying not to hate your voice

Composed on

I've had a weird relationship with my voice for some time. I'm never quite sure how I really want it to sound. And have been repulsed by the sound of my voice when it peaks.

But, I do notice that in listening to some of the voice notes that I've recently sent to a dear friend, that I don't mind it. Something about the process of making a voice note kind of allows me to give snippets of voice. Snippets of what I want others to hear, want others to be aware of.

A means of expression that I could likely leverage going forward. Just because I'm studying the way I use my voice and seeing if I can develop a better feeling about it altogether.

As much as I'm like - don't perceive me, if I can leverage the way I can be perceived in a way that makes sense to me... I can't be too mad at that.
