Dear Reader,

hello. i have been here on my notepad for quite some minutes now, and i don’t have any concrete idea what to write….is it because i don’t have something to say, or i have so much to say i don’t know how to select a thought and begin? i also don’t know, but maybe we are silent if we don’t have something to tell, but i guess there is beauty in silence.

one can think in silence. one would notice the stars when the night is silent. one can see that little leafy plant on the small table in the living room when one is silent. above all, we can hear ourselves when we become silent. silence is a gift we should be grateful to have because you can think well for once. being quiet does not only mean you stop talking entirely, no. sometimes being silent is walking away from the things you no longer need or no longer serving you for good, and being quiet means having the agreement to appease the conflict in your head.

being silent is simply, you know, being content with yourself and the way the world is treating you now. to stand up with grace and sit down with gentleness. step cautiously and stop deliberately.

sometimes you just have to be silent, not because you don’t have something to say, but because there are lots of things bottled in your head that you wanted to say, but you’re just waiting for the right time to spill it out. and when it does, it will be cascading and sweet words coming from your mind because you waited for it to say more than being impulsive and did not see the possible consequences ahead of time.

and oh, i just said something.

have a good night.

Grace be upon you.

Sincerely,
Kryz.
