Alone-With-My-Thoughts

Far too often, I don’t really get to grasp how wonderful silence can be.

As I have more life behind me than I have in front of me, I wonder why I’ve wasted so much time not fully appreciating being alone with my own thoughts. In younger years, silence caused me to become anxious. It caused a pounding in my heart and a racing feeling in my head. I felt as if I could crawl out of my skin. I’m not sure the root of these feelings and really until the past year, I’ve never thought about it.

I am learning that really cheated myself out of something wonderful.

I have met people who talk EVERY minute of every waking hour. How exhausting this is.

Whatever brings you comfort, do it. For me, more silent times are welcoming.
