I was thinking today about voices. I'm grateful that we are given a voice to use to sing, protest, agree, teach, fight, etc. I'm grateful that in the country I live in I still have freedom to use my voice even when it doesn't agree with the government. I'm grateful that people who have damaged vocal cords or undeveloped vocal cords still have a voice in all the same ways as someone with functioning vocal cords has. Our voices can make actual noise or can be written. Sometimes our voices can even communicate through facial expression! When I think of voice I don't think of just the actual sounds but I think of the message that we all have to share with others no matter what that may be.
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
