Mind without a Voice

Hey yall and welcome to my blog! Sounds a little weird to me saying it out loud. Much like any other thoughts or feelings I have, hence the “mind without a voice”. Now that I am thinking about it, I have never had a personal voicemail set up because I simply do not enjoy hearing myself talk. Ironic. Any who, my name is Elizabeth, and this page is something, perhaps the only thing I have at the moment to look forward to doing. I debated on using my name but then I thought what’s the point of this if I’m not going to be using my name. So here I am, Elizabeth, female (born as and pronoun I still use), 31 years old from a small po dunk town in Tennessee. My blogs will be about my life and the experiences I have gone through, what I am currently going through, and what I possibly will be going through. I will share with the world the insight, views, and beliefs I have based off of nothing other than life experience and the mind I was given prior my grand arrival. Therefore, an individual’s views, not forced by another, just simply mine.

My hope in creating this blog is of a couple reasons. I first hope to connect with others. I have gone from having a list of those I could call and talk to at any time, (prior to my world being ripped apart) to having only one. The humor behind this is, then I was quiet, and I didn’t have quite the urge to speak as I do now. Another hope of mine for this page is to be some kind of hope or help to another individual or multiple individuals that have or is enduring the same shit that I have. Pardon my French but that’s exactly what it’s been. Hindsight, right? Thats a bitch itself. Lastly, I want to engage in healthy arguments. Sounds again weird to me. But I do enjoy a good back and forth conversation full of reason and facts. I guess I should explain healthy arguments. By healthy arguments I am meaning, no slander, judgement, name calling etc. We each should be able to feel comfortable voicing our opinions. However, in terms of voicing an opinion, those that read or hear it should be as equally able to ask questions and get the facts of why the opinion is formed. There are too many people quick to speak but slow to respond. When approached with questions they will reply with things like “because ” or “If you don’t like it get off my page”. I know we have all seen or heard this at some point in our lives. My first experience with this being as a child, I ask for something or to do something and my parents tell me no, the reason being. . . .my most favorite. . . “because I said so!”. One of my favorite statements I have recently come across “A fool is one is unwilling to learn because he knows everything, a wise man is eager to learn and obtain knowledge”. Something like that anyways. I know that I am without all knowledge and always learning something new. I can look back and define moments I know I matured a bit more and I also understand as long as I breathe I have more maturing to do.

Topics, you can find yourself reading about from my page will consist of but not be limited to things such as trauma, domestic violence, CPS, addiction, politics, religion, and the world as it is. Thanks for checking in and please share and comment as you wish!!
