How is it that some people know exactly what to say no matter what you are feeling?
Taylor Swift is one of those people.
For real, the new cd Speak Now is absolutely amazing.
I love the song Enchanted.
It describes me right at this moment.
Then again there are some people you really really wish would just say something.
Any single word from that person could make your night turn to day in the space of a heartbeat.
You pray fervently for that single word, maybe a short hello or in answer to simple question about a homework assignment.
They are just words but how much they mean is incredible.
Did anyone ever know how loud silence can be?
Let's do an exercise:
go sit in your room with no music or tv.
Turn your cell phone off and just sit there.
It may take a while but after a little bit the silence becomes too much, doesn't it?
I can't take too much silence.
It messes with my mind and I need to have noise.
I have come to realize that unless I am sleeping, I need some kind of noise.
So, to tie all of this together, there are people that can say the right things that need to be said to fill the silence that everybody encounters.
Finding the people that say the right things is incredibly difficult.
Let people fill the silence.
That's the whole point of being able to speak.
Even though some words are meaningless and some hurt, YOU are the one that has to decide what hurts you or slides past your heart. YOU make the words meaningful. You or the person who says them with the right intentions behind them.
I agree with you on this. Silence can really take over and it's not always a good thing. We're the ones that decide what words mean to us. :)
