Silence used to terrify me. I filled it with apologies, explanations, too many words trying to patch the air before it cracked. But silence doesn’t wait for our panic to pass. It sits there, patient, holding its ground.

I learned that not all silences are empty. Some carry the weight of things unsaid. Others become the softest room to lay your tired heart down in. When someone walks away, their silence will cut. When you finally stop chasing, your silence will heal.

There’s a difference between being ignored and choosing quiet. One leaves you hollow. The other leaves you whole.
