Silence is not the absence of sound. It is a presence. Sometimes it comforts. Sometimes it burns. When you sit alone, you realise silence carries every unsaid word, every unfinished dream. In conversations, silence often speaks more than language. A pause before an answer. An unspoken agreement. A hidden wound. We try to fill silence with chatter, with noise, with endless scrolling. Yet, silence returns. Stronger. Louder. It forces us to face ourselves. And that is what makes it uncomfortable. But if you lean into it, silence becomes a friend. It heals what words cannot. It teaches patience. It teaches truth. Learn to sit with it.
