Disconnect: A Collection of My Brief Writings

Significance of Silence

The moment when all of the voices in your head stop at once.. When nothing makes a sound around you..

When everything is entirely silent for a moment and you just realize in an instant how everything can disappear..

Just like a sound, everything happens so fast and then it's remembered and then it's forgotten.

Just like a voice, everything is either hated or loved or desired.

The sound of an explosion can still be unheard by people who have a barrier between them and the noise.

A barrier of distance, or something less controllable.

Some sounds are better left unheard.

Some are just so important that you couldn't imagine living without them.

Music can live on with you until you die,

And sometimes you want a person to be your favorite song.

But that barrier of distance, or the barrier that can't be controlled, that can come in and mess up everything.

So then you can't hear that song, or that voice, or that explosion.

And you just realize how silent everything can be.
