They say that silence is golden, and you know what, I agree. You work so hard for it, spend so much time looking for it and when you truly get that tiny bit of silence you realise, it is not what you wished for. Silence is horrifying, it is there to show that something is wrong, in the movies is shows you something is wrong. It's that off part of a song, off a video, I mean there are rooms dedicated to silence, and people go mad in them, listening to their own heart beat. You know how horrible it is, it makes you regret those conversations and wish you had just said something, something that made them feel bad or stupid or good or just worthwhile and you wish your silence had never had happened, cause then maybe there's wouldn't have either. That's the thing, to so many people silence is not a dream, it's the sound of an empty home, the sound of a hospital bed, the sound of a newborn baby. So remember, silence is more like gold than you thought, it may be so highly valued by so many people but it takes years to find and in the end can take lives to make.
