How hard can it be? I asked myself.
Well, it turns out it can be hard, even terrifying.
I thought that at first, when I first started sitting with silence. I would do anything to fill the space. Text, get on the Internet, turn the television on. Anything.
I didn’t like it at all.
It made my mind open up.
It made me think.
It made me question.
I am still trying to become comfortable with silence. I think I have gotten better. I like falling asleep to silence. I like reading in silence. Being among silence helps me concentrate.
I seek silence out because it is comforting to me. It is where I go to unwind, to have me time.
Silence fills me up.
It makes me whole.
