Silence Learned to Speak
In the beginning, I believed silence was empty. That belief came from books, from classrooms, from people who spoke loudly enough to convince me that worth is measured in volume. Speak up, they said. Be heard. Leave a mark. But no one ever taught me how to listen to what remains after the noise leaves.
