"Visualizing the word of things in Silence "
Finding
My Voice through Silence
There’s
a curious way in which silence wraps around our deepest emotions. It begins as
a protective shell, shielding the raw, unfiltered truths we carry within us. I
have often wondered why some words—perhaps the most vital ones—get stuck in my
throat, weighing me down like unspoken confessions. Maybe it’s fear. Fear that
voicing what lies within will somehow unravel the fragile threads holding
together the life I’ve built. Perhaps it’s a need for control, a way to guard
what I hold most sacred. Or maybe it’s love itself, delicate and vulnerable,
that teaches me to speak carefully—or not at all. In this quiet space, I have
learned to coexist with the unsaid, finding solace in the paradox of longing
and restraint.
To
those who know me, I might appear open and warm, sharing stories that light up
conversations and exchanging laughter that fills the voids of everyday life.
But behind that surface lies a quieter version of me, one that speaks in
measured pauses and incomplete thoughts. I hide things—not out of malice or
mistrust, but because I fear the weight of certain truths. What if revealing
them means losing someone I hold dear? What if my vulnerability is
misunderstood? The words I want to say stay nestled in the quiet corners of my
heart, too fragile to be set free. It’s not that I lack the courage; rather,
it’s that I fear the consequences of what I might lose in the process of being
honest.
Still,
there are moments when the weight of this silence becomes unbearable. When my
chest aches with the need to speak, and my mind races with the perfect way to
say it—only to falter once more. I’ve come to realize that silence, too, is a
language, albeit a flawed one. It can protect, but it can also isolate. It can
preserve what matters most, yet also create a chasm where connection once
thrived. For me, this silence is not a void but a space filled with love,
longing, and hope. I wish I could find the words to express what matters most
to me without the fear of losing what I cherish. But until then, I’ll let my
actions speak louder than my unspoken words, hoping that someday, they will be
understood.
