If You Can't Handle the Frequency, Stay Out of Range!
Why is it that when someone talks with a little more energy or edge, people start acting like it’s a problem? Like something’s wrong with you just because you don’t sound soft or flat.
What annoys me most is how people act like we’re all supposed to react or sound the same. Same words, same tone of voice, etc. Last time I checked, we were made DIFFERENT on purpose.
People aren’t supposed to be carbon copies. We process differently. We cry differently, laugh different, feel different, and react differently. It’s time we stopped treating differences like a problem that needs to be fixed. You don’t get to define my volume just because you're flavorless. Some of us were made with fire in our voice.
I’ve spent too much time being misunderstood. Not because I wasn’t clear, but people can be so closed-minded. My voice carries. My reactions are strong. My presence doesn’t sit in the corner waiting to be invited. I’m not loud—I’m expressive. I’m not dramatic—I’m aware. But because I don’t react as someone else thinks in their mind, suddenly I’m “doing too much.” I’ve had enough of it. I’m not here to fit into others' perception of what a "tone" of voice should be. My voice, my joy, my tone, it’s mine! God gave it to me.
People don’t know the joy I carry. The peace I fought for. Like the song says, “This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it, and the world can’t take it away.” God blessed me with this voice, this personality, this presence, and I’m not changing that for anyone.
At least I’m not loud and ignorant. Having a big voice isn’t the same as being obnoxious. Stop making everything about tone when you never cared about the content. Being misunderstood isn’t just annoying; it’s draining.
Let’s be real, this whole “tone” thing isn’t even about how I speak; it’s about how people react when they’re not used to hearing something real. I know how to handle myself in any situation. I adjust to my environment and the people I’m dealing with. Healing didn’t make me softer. It showed me how to stop dimming myself for people who can’t handle the authenticity in my voice. It taught me that just because people don’t understand me or don’t know how to process direct energy, I don’t have to apologize for that. I’m responsible for staying true to who I am.
People love to criticize, but that’s just code for “I’m not used to you showing up like this.” Babeeeeey, it’s not about doing too much. It’s about being too much for someone who isn’t ready to see you at your full potential.
And just to clarify, when I say ‘loud,’ I’m not talking about yelling or being over the top. Just saying, some of us have a naturally louder voice, and that’s it! No need to flinch.
I can’t believe I have to explain that my voice is just... my voice! Some of us just have voices that carry, and it’s not a crime. It’s just the way our vocal cords are wired. But somehow, people love to make it a whole thing. At least from my side of it.
So, next time someone acts all shocked or gets all dramatic and clinch their little pearls when you speak, just remember: it’s about you showing up as YOU. Don’t apologize for it.
