Silence...... confronting inner emotions

In certain seasons of life....we struggle with our battles and silent chaos. At times we feel hurt , emotionally helpless and sense a void inside. Once in a blue moon , an intense desire pops up with the sole purpose of being heard. This desire is nothing but a reflection of aloneness , suffering , agony and so much more......Silence is not hollow or empty , it's filled with varied emotions. Occasionally silence silently splits us into pieces and prevents the ability to express emotions or thoughts entirely. We shouldn't make silence so dominative that it can't scream.

Silence often introduces us to inner peace. However , here lies a conflict.....If stress , grief or chaotic emotions continuously bombard us , how can we attain bliss or remain calm ? To be content we must refrain from such feelings. For this ,we need to nurture mental strength and stability to overcome challenges. Until we become resilient and composed ,we can't truly experience gratification and serenity.

Off and on , I pause to gather my thoughts and lately realized that silence itself is a voice. We just require confronting the emotions that have been suppressed somewhere beneath the silence. It's time to break the silence and give voice to the unheard feelings and emotions that have been left unspoken......
