I have a secret. It’s embarrassing when I am caught, and I discover someone is listening. Talking to myself, in my head and aloud is a normal occurrence. I assure you, my conversations are rather mundane. Where is my phone? Did I pay the bill? Should I buy lemons at the grocery store? Who is knocking on my front door? Why did I come into this room? Those are typical topics I explore almost daily.
Late at night when the house is finally silent, questions fade and grow quiet. The voice changes and my evening adventure begins. I have heard it since I was a child. It has told me bedtime stories, created imaginary characters, and fantastic worlds. It is my trusted companion. Together we work through complex issues, solving the day’s problems. I write the tales I tell myself and share them with my friends.
What stories will you tell yourself today?

Oh yes, I talk to myself too, or rather I rant to myself. Quietly and privately, I describe my feelings about the latest annoyance or painful episode, and more often what I would love to happen to the perpetrator!
This keeps me sane, at least I think it does!

LOL Yes, my friend I am hoping it keeps me sane as well. I do try to curb the conversations around other people, just in case. 🙂
