Thank you for this! As someone who thrives in silence, I know it doesn't have to be awkward. And as the queen of awkward situations, I know it is awkward only if you make it awkward.

Many times when I chitchat with someone and it falls silent they say oh no awkward silence... I say no, it's comfortable silence.

Sitting in my room at 10:22am with a generator from the house behind ours slamming in my head, yes, it is a very noisy place. Thanks💗

"Hopefully, you have people you can enjoy silence with. The world is noisy enough."

This gave me a mixed feeling of nostalgia and introspection. A very beautiful and also relatable piece. Thank you!

It is your responsibility😅 now I'll go back to continue reading. Just had to get this off my chest first.
