Slience.

 They say 'Silence is golden.' I used to see this quote very often on the walls of libraries when I was a younger girl. Along with the libraries, Silence is also very much appreciated in the theaters. Having to switch off your phones and all. Haven't you seen 'the idiot' while in QFX Cinemas? (applicable only to th nepalese*) Well.. these are situations where we are compelled to keep shut, for they have been social norm for decades.

Then comes situations where we have a choice. The choice to keep quiet. That choice to mute ourselves from anyone we'd like to, leaving them the utmost confusion as to why. Yes I am a victim of it too. Why do people resort to this? Is it because they are angry? Is it because they need a time to cool of? Or simply because they are just not in the mood to talk?

Though I am very much of a talker and I thrive on socialising. Like anyone else, I have my quiet moments too.

Days when I feel moody, I don't talk as much. Days when I wake up on the wrong side of bed, I don't talk as much. Days when the weather is dark and gloomy, I don't talk as much. I am sure most of us have gone thru such days, innit? Simply no mood to converse! Best solution is just to shut ourselves to sleep. This way no one will disturb us nor our crappy mood. Try it! It works for me. :)

Diplomacy is a very essential life lesson that my father had taught me. Since a young girl, I hated having fights. I grew up to realise it was due to the tensions of fights that I abhor most. Even now, I am aware there are people hating and cursing me. Making me out to be a bad person, wishing death on me and all mean things in between. I am NOT the sort to retaliate and be like 'Oh no you didnt, bxtch! !@#$%^&'. Why 'fight'? Instead I close one eye and a mouth. I ignore all the negativity. I don't lash out, after all people have their own opinions. No point fighting back. I keep silent and just hope Karma will do its wonderful job. I can't please everyone, right? Or rather who can?
Ignorance (and silence) is indeed bliss.

Have you given up? Not on a test, not on a competition but on SOMEONE. A parent can give up on their child. A lover can give up on his partner. A boss can give up on his employees. I tried hard to bring X back into my life. I apologised even though it was never fair. I tried to talk things out. I cried. Got sad. Got mad. Feelings turned as sour as bad yogurt from X's end. I had it. Then, I GAVE UP. I couldn't take it anymore, to be the only one trying with no progress. I silenced myself. I don't talk to X anymore, not a single word. Ahhhh~ And its better this way. :) No pretense, No facades, No tensions.

My silence didn't reflect resentment, it just meant I gave up.

Next time I am go mute on you, big worry eh? Haha. Many interpret silence differently. Those were just some of mine. I dno about silence being 'golden' but Silence is indeed very powerful. They can make. or break you. And its all in YOUR hands.

G'day people!
