Silence is…

Today is a quiet day.

There’s something about silence that brings back thoughts I thought I’d forgotten.

It unearths memories and situations my mind wants to leave behind.

Sometimes, it even makes those memories more vivid and detailed, giving me a new perspective on how I once saw them.

It’s crazy how silence can create the loudest noise in my head.

For me, silence shouts.

It delivers the most obvious “I don’t even care” to an awkward question.

It paints you as scary and intimidating, making others too terrified to break your bubble of quiet peace.

It shouts at those quick to judge without bothering to learn your truth — lazy individuals who don’t even fact-check before believing something, only to blame their gullibility on what the majority says.

Silence isn’t empty.

When you look closely, it’s filled with an abundance of ideas quietly waiting to be unleashed.

It gives birth to the most creative version of yourself, unaffected by the world’s activities.

Silence embraces all the different versions of you, allowing each one to shine without fear of any judgment.

It offers so much — peace, serenity, and creativity.

Silence is never empty; it’s a gift just waiting to be pursued by yourself.

But, no matter how we see silence as positive, it can still be a void within ourselves.

It’s the loudest cry for help that no one bothers to hear.

It’s the loneliest part of your day, one you can’t share with friends, fearing you’ll pull them into your quicksand of stillness.

It’s the ringing in your ears, echoing how lonely and alone you feel in this world, while others’ laughter fills the air like the sound of happiness.

Silence is the battle cry of those who wear the mask of independence but secretly long for a companion who will stay, no matter what life brings.

After all, silence is its own language — a way to express how you feel without saying a word.

It shows you’re paying attention, something people don’t always get.

Sometimes, it’s just a pause that makes others think before they speak.

Silence connects you to everything — peace, understanding, and a safe space to just be.

It’s like your own personal story playing in your head, one only you can hear.
