That Voice In My Head

WP Daily Prompt Asks: Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

That voice in my head- the one that I hear when I ask myself WHY-why did this awful thing happen, why is the world such a dark and twisted place, why are dogs so cute and are ghosts real?  And why do I want to be a writer when I have failed at almost everything I have set out to  do?

WHY WHY WHY

and then I hear this voice and it says:

This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you’re on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable…Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, you’re entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. . . Next stop The Twilight Zone

Rod Serling

I keep connected to  the world around me when I don’t have any reason to.
I keep writing even though I really really do suck at it- like my nearest and dearest have said- lots of people write but not all of them are good writers and I shouldn’t expect to be better then anyone else.
And most of the time I think they are right.
WHY than do I carry on?
Because  these are adventures, that’s why and I want to see where it goes.
That’s what that voice in my head encourages me to do and it hasn’t let me down yet.
