Shhh…

Let me sit in the quiet. It’s a safe space for the chaos inside.

No, it’s not another poetic nonsense. It’s about understanding the power of silence. In a world that echoes with words all the time, embracing the quiet is a powerful thing to do.

We may not realize it, but there is a voice inside all of us. A voice that guides us through the unimaginable. A voice that gives us the power to create the path we are meant to walk on.

But in this fast-paced world. We often ignore that voice.

We can spend days staring at a screen, scrolling through our thumbs. Or listening to loud music or a podcast while doing something as simple as folding clothes.

I know this because I used to do this.

Instead of listening to that voice, I tried to ignore it. I was distracting myself so that I don’t have to deal with myself. You see the irony here.

I used to think, Oh, I love the quiet so much. I can be by myself all day without anyone’s company.

But god, oh god! Wasn’t I so wrong?

I was never by myself. My ever-distracting phone was always there with me. Netflix, Hotstar, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and other social media platforms were my constant companions.

With time, those voices turned into unhandled chaos.

I become angry, irritated, and confused. I never realized that instead of coming closer to myself, I was going far away. And when that happened, I started living in low vibrational energy. Things were not going my way, and I was obviously disappointed.

I knew I lost the only true friend I ever had. Myself.

That’s when I started connecting with my roots again. That’s when I started liberation kriya and yoga and even deactivated my socials.

I understood that the chaos inside craves the quiet outside.

Now, I try to embrace the quiet. Instead of constantly finding ways to distract myself. I sit in silence and ask myself how I have been. How am I feeling? When I do this…

It allows me to introspect and analyze.

To become friends with myself and romanticize.

Oh…that somewhat rhymed.

Trust me, you will become a much better individual when you fall in love with the beauty of silence.

Your emotions will be in your control. You will know exactly what you are feeling and why. Meaningful relationships will come your way, and you will start living with high-vibrational energy.

Most importantly, you will become best friends with yourself. With each passing day, a new path to success will be uncovered.

All of this will only happen if you realize that…

The chaos inside craves the quiet outside.
