More than words

I grew up mostly on the East Coast… not particularly in one state, just all over the place… and not just the East Coast – “mostly East” but have heavy influences from all over the United States.

Is kinda funny because “I think” I speak normal, but people always say I have an accent – no matter where I go… or who I talk to… some even want to keep hearing me speak 🤨… say this word or this sentence 🤨

That’s only because I have many states mixed in? It’s actually perfect speech lol (kidding) … it’s just a special blend lol 😄✌️

I have that New England accent, mixed with the deep South, mixed with the Great Lakes area, the Midwest and then also the West… lol – I have the country in my speech lol …

I really don’t have an accent – lol … from what I describe you might think so… and people “think” they hear one… but not to me… it’s just many dialects and different words mixed into one lol

Many times people try to guess where my accent is from 🤨 there is no correct answer – you can maybe name a state, and sure maybe lol … but that’s not JUST where it’s from

The most prevalent one would be New England – but in New England, I speak very different than them 🤨 … everything else is thrown in there too – so when I am with my New England people I stick out too, because I don’t speak like them – only some of my words have their influence.

This is what happens when you move a child everywhere lol… they pick up these things

Again, I do not hear any accent whatsoever in how “I” speak… I think I speak perfectly, but it always throws me off when people say “ooohhh you have an accent” or “oh where’s your accent from?” 🤨 … how in the world do I answer that? Umm?? The United States? Can I just be all encompassing like that? Lol

I get that accent thing a lot … I don’t hear it … it’s them not me.

I suppose you wouldn’t hear your own accent though? Can you? There is really no where I can go where it blends in lol … I hear “your” accents but not mine.

One of my friends just called me and said … just talk … I just wanna hear your accent 🤨 what? Lol

Funny but whatever.

There is not a song about accents lol… so I went with this one – I kinda love this song … and at the time they hit it big… I was in Massachusetts and in High School … they were from one town over… our rival high school – but was cool… I don’t know what ever happened to them… this was their one big song … I like “More than words” ❤️✌️
