Silence




"What is a word that comforts you?"

            


                     This question marked in my mind the moment it was asked by a celebrity that I watched when she has this so called talk concert. There are words that the audience shared when they were asked by this question. Some said that the word eat deliciously are the words that can comfort him. And those words are from her song "Tunnel" 

                  Those words can be shallow for others, and can also be shallow if it was included in a song, but it can be meaningful when you were there in the situation. Especially if you love to eat and you were stress eating.  There are also words that can comfort you like some sorts of motivational and such but the moment Sejeong said this word, I realized that this is also my comforting word.




 Silence


            This can be my comforting word. But unlike others that it is a word that was said by someone, mine is the word itself. Silence has the power to make our minds feel better in any way. Or is it just me? As I started thinking, there are times that silence can have the room for the negative thoughts to welcome you, silence can add the volume for the voices in our heads and it really depends on our mood and situation and how you cope up in every situation. 


           But silence is my comfort word. It gave me the opportunity to think deeply the situation I'm coming through. That's why when I'm at my darkest times, words coming from others doesn't affect me at all, I always feel like they can't understand me. They never will. Although I'm aware that their help and comfort were sincere, but how can they even help me if I can't even help myself first, and I'm not willing to be helped?

                                       There would always be a situation when you just  randomly thought of combining beautiful words and make it into a meaningful piece. And that was what I've experience writing these compilation of pieces. Hope you will all enjoy it!          If you will notice some errors, don't hesitate to speak, I'm always open for constructive criticisms:> Set yourself free from fears  that jailed you. Fear is a Jail When I try to move forward,  My feet froze, and felt nothing I want to lay my own card  Still I have no courage to step on beginning For a long time I'm hidden on my own wall Walls that can be comfort I must say However, I'm afraid it'll be my own fall Do I need fortitude to set free in this non-existent jail? For those who listen but can't be heard. Whisper   When I try to utter You'll...

For Me

 Hello. The first time I wrote like this in this kind of format is when I started this account. I just want to share this lesson or an idea, maybe? Whatever you want to call it. It depends on you. I have always been asking myself what do you like? What is your biggest dream? What's your favorite food? Or any questions about myself. But my answers will always be depends on what I want in that moment, that is based on people who I really want to please, or to those people whom I want to be. All those answers are really not for myself. Maybe that's when it started.  Then it became a habit. I slowly became someone people want me to be, to fit in. I forgot my dreams when I was a child, I forgot what's really my favorite food, what do I want in life, where do I want to go and many more. I don't even know now what's my favorite color. Then it got worse. I now find it hard to burst all my feelings, it's now so hard to cry. Because what I feel is not worse and they can...
