We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”
Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
Sometimes, when everything seems overflowing: joy, happiness, remorse or grief; When these emotions seems to swallow ourselves and distracts us from thinking straightly, pause. Give yourself a break. A cup of coffee in the corner table. A date with your dog. A time in your nook. Never be afraid to spend a little time dating yourself because sometimes, being alone gives you time to grasp who you really are, to go back to your roots, to observe and to appreciate.
