Silence Isn’t Emptiness - It is a Space to Grow

 Silence - It is a magical word - one that I not consider much, I used to resist.

There is always a kind of fear, the fear of SILENCE. Many a times I had felt the loudness of silence than that of the words and noise. So I rush to fill that with my words either spoken our loud or in mind and distract myself out of that fear. For me silence is synonyms with loneliness or being unproductive. Over a period of time when there were periods of exhaustion both physical and mental, I learned, I realised, I started to accept the fact that SILENCE is not absence of something, but it iws the presence of every other thing we tend to avoid often. 

I felt and realised that SILENCE is the mirror of reflection of my inner self.  When I am silent not just physically but also when I tried to shut up my wandering thoughts and mind, I realised that, I could feel a sense of clarity, answer to a lot of questions. I could clear and hear amidst chaos. I could breathe freely, reflect a lot of things and realign myself. 

Silence amidst chaos is ok, but not all silence is comfortable.  A few silences show us that there is a deep wound beneath the scar, heavy heart, unhealed pain. Silence has a role to play by itself - it teaches patience, it invites introspection. It gives clarity.

Silence taught me one biggest truth - that not every question needs an immediate answer. Not every conflict requires a solution. Not every moment of pause has to be filled.

Nowadays, I make space for silence as a routine. My morning walks, or when I sip my cup of coffee all alone or when I sit listening to the pauses during mindful conversations all are filled with meaningful SILENCE.

AndI have found out the profound truth that silence is no longer void. It is the place where healing begins.

Ask Yourself: 
When was the last time you sat in silence without feeling guilty or restless? What did you notice?

Journal Prompt:
Explore a moment where silence helped you make a meaningful decision, understand a situation and or reconnect with yourself.

How to Let Go Kindly

The passing on should not be noisy and inhumane. Self - respect is something which can be quite a thing. A drama is not needed in every outcome. Many or much needs and justly merits grace. When you are ready to give something up, be it something processional, connection, a conviction or even a character of yourself, you do not have to demolish a mountain or make a bridge combust to walk away. And this is one way of releasing with out hurting: 1. When you are truthful with yourself you are the first person that you ought to deceive. Understanding is the initial hospitality. Realize truth and facts to yourself before you relay them to someone. You ask yourself-Why are you keeping it? Or is it fear, or love, or habit, or guilt? 2. You dont have to make a big exit Certainly you do not need to say much good bye to anybody. It may be sometimes the kindest thing not to take much hold, not to be very like, instead of being very unlike, as not to say anything very ill. 3. Being the best ver...

Letting go : The Lesson I Din't want, But Needed

There are many things that don’t break us; they just ask to be released. We carry a certain heaviness. It's not because we have to, but because we don’t know how to set it down or let it go. For me, it was a friendship I clung to too tightly. It used to bring joy, laughter, and comfort. But over time, it began to feel like walking on eggshells. I felt responsible for someone else's happiness while neglecting my own. Still, I held on. Letting go felt like failing. It felt like giving up on something that once meant the world to me. Then one day, I realized I wasn’t holding on out of love anymore. I was holding on out of fear—fear of being wrong, fear of being alone, and fear of what others might think. That’s when I learned what letting go truly means. Letting go isn’t always dramatic. It’s not a slammed door or a final message. Sometimes, it’s simply waking up and choosing peace over pressure. Sometimes, it’s not about walking away, but stepping back—kindly, firmly, and fully. ...

When They Walk Away Without Apology - It’s Not You, It’sTheir Conscience

Have you ever found yourself wondering why someone who just you just vanished? Why they chose silence over accountability?Why they disappeared instead of simply saying,”I am sorry?” You are not alone.  Sometimes people don’t walk away because they don’t care - they walk away because deep down,  they know they were wrong, and they don’t have the emotional maturity to face it.  That is what psychology refers to as guilty conscience.  When someone knows they have treated you unfairly - disrespected you, betrayed your trust, or hurt you - they may start avoiding you altogether. Not because you are at fault, but because being around you reminds them of their own failure to take responsibility.  Avoidance becomes their escape route. Accountability is too heavy a burden for those who lack the courage to own their mistakes.  And so, instead of apologising or repairing the relationship, they simply. Remove themselves from your life quietly. Without closure.Without e...
