Why Aren’t You Listening to Me? – #MIU

Little boy shouts angrily

Why aren’t you listening to me?

I spotted the little chap on the left while I was in Flores, a tiny island in the Komodo National Park area. He was calling someone who was obviously not taking much notice. He got crosser and crosser and louder and louder and I just couldn’t resist taking a photo of him. But I sympathised with him too, as it’s really frustrating when you’re saying something and you think you aren’t being heard.

There are, of course, other reasons why you might not be heard for example, when you lose your voice. There have been two occasions in my life when I’ve lost it completely. Thankfully, I didn’t have any other symptoms, so I didn’t feel ill. I don’t know if it was laryngitis, pharyngitis or some other sort of itis but I was very glad when my voice returned after a few days. On one occasion, I was on holiday, so arguably, it didn’t really matter if I had a voice or not but the second time, I was working with special needs children in a school, so my lack of voice was a nuisance.

I’ve never, however, had two voices. The protagonist in my ebook ‘Daffodil and the Thin Place, could tell you a thing or two about having two voices. In her search to be rid of the second voice, she finds herself back in the Victorian times. Find out how she dealt with the problem here by purchasing ‘Daffodil and the Thin Place’ from the Muse It Up Publishing website. #MuseItUp
