Silence
We all find ourselves longing for it at one point in our lives... Sometimes it's when children are screaming in supermarket and other times it's when we simply wish to sit quietly and think.
We all long for silence at some point.
But what none of us realize... is that silence can be deafening...
Some of us are surrounded by people at most times,
whether it be our friends or our siblings and so we cherish the times when we can just sit alone and think by ourselves...
However, some if us.... are completely alone... all the time....
Some of us live in silence.... quietly existing to ourselves as the noisy world goes on around us. We live in a soundproof box that blocks out every single sound until we are left with nothing but our thoughts.....
To some of us... any kind of noise is welcomed... any kind of sound is music to our ears... But we should never tell anyone that.. because then... we would no longer be safe...
If we were reach out to someone, if we were to try and make a connection with another human... we would have to shatter our protective, sound- proof box and expose ourselves to the cold, harsh world...
And that is scary.
But it's at times like this, that we have to ask ourselves a single question...
What's worse?
