Silence is Golden

it’s amazing how silence can speak.

i’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. i used to run from silence. Fill it with noise – music, my own stupid commentary, or just being around people. Silence made me anxious, uncomfortable. It was literally painful to experience.

But in the past few years, I’ve realized that silence can be a portal. A doorway through which whispers from your heart, your soul, or even existence itself can pass, unhindered. These things – these whispers – actually require silence to be heard and understood. and sometimes, it’s not even about the words of the whisper – it’s about how it feels. and feeling that requires you to be still.
