Some people are uncomfortable with silences. Not me.

Comfortable silences are underrated.

Like just sit here and be okay with the quietness surrounding us. Be in the moment. Enjoy the silence. Don't question it. Don't get weird about it. Just hold my hand in yours, relax and appreciate this moment.

Day 21

+ I had a really productive day at work and learned lots. I’m really proud of myself for learning so much in a short amount of time as I was really worried when I first started! + LOVE people watching – making coffee for people is more rewarding than it sounds! We get such a diverse group of people in – met a lovely gay couple who shared some carrot cake. They oozed more romance, love and…

How does one "friend"!? Don't we all want to know...

I really hate feeling like I'm just this weird bug to some of my friends ( not the best comparison) but yeah at first I seem awesome and fun to talk to, but then when they get to know me more, they realize that I'm not that much of a talker... and they start to think I'm boring and really quite annoying at times, and I'm just there thinking " Why waste your time with me? Why do I even bother trying to talk to you when it doesn't even seem like you're putting in the effort? You might as well just leave me alone and go to some other people that actually know what to say and make you at least talk a bit"... A lot of the times I just want a friend that thinks that "even though there are silences, I don't care! I still love hanging out with you, and I would never leave just because we both don't have anything to say. Don't worry about that."

And you know what I find weird? Is that you don't really make "close friends" by just sitting around and having your silent moments - no, they'll think your boring/have something better to do/ to talk to. You actually have to talk - but a lot of the times ITS AWESOME! You get to have these intense conversations about the universe and philosophical questions and life, but then as you stay friends for longer and meet more times, you... (I...) start to show that... you... just kinda want those silences... without having to worry about the other person judging your worth by the "interesting" things you say when you don't have anything much to say. You just wanna be there with them. And feel secure with that silence.

But you know what? In this day and age - a lot of people are terrified of silences!! I sure know I am. And thats why I usually fill it with unwanted babble because I'm terrified that others (...) will just... slowly... float away... to people that know how to make it last... 

Friends... are sometimes easy to make but hard to keep.

And I guess you have to put in the effort though, right? At least try. Cuz they say that its all worth it in the end, and I sure hope they're right.

"Comfortable Silence is Golden"

       Over the course of the years, I've learned to really appreciate comfortable silence. It's rare, and when it's found, it should really be valued. It's not something that can happen with everyone you interact with. Whether it's just sitting in a car and saying absolutely nothing, the fact that the one thing many people fear out of awkwardness feels perfectly fine and comfortable is something I've always been fascinated by.

       So many people mistake silence as awkwardness, in deep thought, or a type of passive aggressiveness that means the person's angry or upset. Honestly, sometimes my mind is just blank and I can't think of anything to say. So, I just sit there and some think I'm angry when I'm just enjoying the silence. 

       Comfortable silence is golden. Some people would kill for such peace when they're with someone who makes them nervous or feel intimidated. Don't take it for granted, but learn to gradually appreciate it and the many benefits it has.
