You wanna know what the loudest silence is?
Maybe you don't wanna know. Im telling you, you don't want to know. Yet maybe you already know.
But im gonna tell you anyways cuz i am who i am and you either gonna prepare for it (hope it never happens to you) or its gonna crash into your reality at some point.
The loudest silence is an empty house.
That's right. AN EMPTY HOUSE/HOME.
It just happens.
One day, life at home is busy, loud and you just wish that there was peace and quiet... then all of a sudden, its there.
Unavoidable. Undeniable. Inescapable.
The loud ringing of silence in your ears.
No one to tell you good morning.
No one to greet you at the door after a long days work.
No one to ask how your day has been or how work was today.
No one to ask you to build a fort out of pillows or play games.
No one to tuck into bed at night and read bedtime stories.
No one to make sure they ate all their vegetables.
No one to help make dinner with.
No one to plant flowers around the house with.
No one to play blanket tug of war.
No one to nudge you in the night because you're snoring.
No one to cuddle close to for warmth when the bed is so soft and comfortable.
No one to sit next to you on the couch to watch a movie.
No one to scratch your back or massage their sore shoulders.
NO ONE.
No one to kiss good night right before you close your eyes to go to sleep.
No one to tell you they love you.
I can go on and on....
Maybe its because they get older, grow up.
Maybe because they took a job out of town.
Maybe because big moves are happening (for better or worse).
Maybe because you're now just realizing, its been right there all along.
Just right there. Silently. Silently waiting.
Waiting for the moment it has a chance to invade. To smother. To push out the noise of everything all around. To settle its heavy weight on your heart. Deep in your soul.
So enjoy the noise. Love the screams. Embrace the chaos.
It won't last.
