Silence can hit you like a brick. It is so deafening to the point where it may be so loud. Thoughts run rampant and your mind begins to race. You begin to hear the little things that never mattered before. However silence can be peaceful. It has the gift to bring new potential and meaning. It gives us time to think. When its silent, its almost like time has paused to give you time to breath. The feeling of silence can be uncomfortable at times. Awkward silence comes in times of uncomfortably and uncertain. Yet there is comfortable silence where you enjoy the space with others. Silence can be a gift as well as a curse.
