Why Selftalk (In)Sanity?

Selftalk is the talking in your head. Not voices talking to you, that's a bit different! But you talking to you, working through problems or things you want to say to someone, it's your thoughts really.

My selftalk has always been incessant, overwhelming actually, and at times it makes me feel a bit insane. It also keeps me sane or maybe just grounded, so to speak.

I mostly write about all the "chatter" in my head (as I lovingly call my self talk) that I don't have enough opportunities to verbalize as a stay at home mom. They tend to center around my fears, hopes, dreams, frustrations, anger and of course the joys and beauty of life. Parenting isn't easy, marriage isn't easy, life isn't easy but I do try to laugh at some of these things whenever possible. So, if laughing about poop and the insanity of parenthood or listening to the drama of my recovery from life with an alcoholic husband isn't your thing, this may not be the place for you. You might also have to be able to tolerate rambling, at times, in order enjoy my blog too.

I'll warn you, I write as I think... and talk for that matter... and grammar is NOT my strong suit! Thankfully there is spell check because spelling isn't one of my best qualities either. I actually feel I'm more of a thinker than a writer but since writing gets all this chatter out which helps to keep me sane, in what often feels like my insane life, I'll play the part of a writer as long as it helps someone! Including me, because it's important to be kind to oneself.

My goal is to be nothing but honest which I know may result in offending. This is not my intent! I hope my honesty is more a vessel for others to feel less alone, less isolated, less afraid to talk about some of the chatter in their own heads that at times makes them feel a bit insane too.

And that's how Selftalk (In)Sanity came to be.
