Voice Modulation & Snap Judgments
Right now, I'm the traveler, the gypsy, the lover, the best friend who is coming to visit.
What fascinates me is how I can project an image/mythology unintentionally to others who don't know me very well. For some reason in a certain era of my life, other people kept imagining that I was unpredictable, when I'd then had the same phone number for over twenty years and am a "pillar of my community" with a local business. This idea of me being "unpredictable" pre-dates my currently traveling lifestyle. I really can't imagine how some would have seen that mythology in me, when I'm one of the most stable people I know.
Later I found out that it was a mere mannerism of the way that I modulated my voice.
