The Voice Of A Hunger Beyond Food

Using the voice to text option so that I am forced to hear, to give life to, those things beyond food. A hunger to share and/or learn about myself.

Normalize disliking people and avoiding them without starting a conflict and insisting that they're bad people. You don't actually need to be able to call someone toxic and abusive in order to justify that you're not vibing with them.

It took me decades to truly FEEL and believe I don’t have to torture myself being around a family member just because that toxic person is a “Family member”. Family can be such an over used word. It can create joy AND pain. The latter is what many of us in therapy are trying to release.

For a moment I had a wondering, after another moment I had validation that it wasn’t a curious thought, it was more a possibility…

I’ve allowed food to stifle me. i’ve allowed food to control more than my body. I’ve allowed it to control my VOICE, not just that sound of laughter, but that voice that comes from deep within your belly, the one that is rooted within that wise part of my mind.

Hearing my voice dictate those above thoughts. It’s overwhelming how speaking something gives it life. But also speaking something negative minimizes the power it has over me.

The intention of this blog… ?

My voice to text. Hearing myself say these things, watching the words appear, it addresses your senses and forces me to hear my voice.

Yes, occasionally the situation may not be conducive to a voice to text entry. But for the most part I want to use it so that I can hear my own voice, feel the vibrations of it within my throat, nasal passages, and at times, my heart. 

It’s easy to type words that I feel, that have depth. It’s not so easy to speak those words aloud. The voice gives life. 

Sometimes we share things that subconsciously we need to hear-hear, not read-hear. I want this blog to be a safe place where I can quietly speak out loud and hear my voice.
