Pages of growth - A journal of notes

 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.

Sometimes, no matter how many words you know, none seem enough. The emotions are too deep, the ache too heavy, the moment too overwhelming. And in those moments, silence becomes your only language. Silence isn’t emptiness . It’s not avoidance. It’s not weakness. Silence is often the most honest response when your heart is too full to speak. There are feelings so tangled, even the best words cannot untie them. How do you explain heartbreak that comes without a reason? How do you describe joy that brings tears instead of smiles? How do you speak about longing that hasn’t been named? You don’t. You just sit with it — quietly. Letting the silence say what the words cannot. Sometimes silence is healing . In silence, you feel. In silence, you understand yourself better. In silence, you breathe without trying to make sense of anything. You don’t have to rush to explain or defend or justify your emotions. You don’t owe anyone your pain in neatly framed sentences. Silence is strength . It’s not...
