To me, the voice within has more qualities and effects, than just one. My voice within is the little voice in my head, which tells me, if something doesn’t feel right.

I remember one evening when I was going out playing the music. My musical partner and I were going to play a concert in a movie theatre. When we’d parked the car, I felt something, and I said:

“This is not going to be good.”

And I remember that my friend said that it was going to be great. And now, I can assure you that he was wrong.

When we were on stage, the audience was counted to five people, including the sound engineer, by the way.

Well, my voice within was right.

I’ve had more experiences like this one earlier and later too, but I don’t remember them.

Another function of my voice within would be the function of a muse, or what I should call it.

Maybe I have already mentioned it in one of my other articles here, but this function is the one I feel/hear the most.

When I’m walking around or doing something, I hear the voice within coming up with some ideas for new stories and projects.

It’s a great thing, because it’s like my other half. I mean the voice of my imagination and fantasy. Sometimes it scares me a bit, but I know I couldn’t live without it.

Sometimes when the voice within brings me the ideas, I think that the voice within is the creator of my works, and I’m just the tool.

But the voice within is always my best friend, and it never leaves me.

When thinking of the voice within, I have been wondering of something. Is the voice within the same as the other side of a person? I mean just like George Stark and Thad Beaumont (Stephen King’s The Dark Half) or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Not that I think it’s something psychologically wrong about people listening to their voices within, but I just had my thoughts about it. I hear my voice within almost all the time, but sometimes it’s just as a little chat with a friend who is not in sight.

Childish? No, I don’t think so. I don’t think I have a friend here who can’t be seen by the grown-ups. No, I know that this invisible friend is another part of me.
