golden silence

when my class gets a little rowdy, i zone out... it's hard to be an introvert in an extroverted kind of job... i have to continuously interact with different personalities all at the same time and try to be enthusiastic with a topic that they would rather sleep through.

that is why i enjoy my alone time... may it be walking home from work or quietly reading a good book. it helps me to center myself and be aware that there are things that i can do in silence that will make me feel more complete.

some people hate being alone. however, i feel that being alone can sometimes be liberating, especially when you've spent an entire week socializing and trying your best not to grow tired of smiling all the time.

when you're alone, you get to be more relaxed and less mindful of your actions. you get to be more natural and less anxious about the things that are happening around you. It is fun to be with people and do activities with them, but it is also refreshing to sit in front of an open field or a sandy beach with just you and your thoughts.

these days i just don't have that luxury of time to go somewhere and venture out on my own. if i had money and lots of spare time, i would have gone to far places so i could just enjoy the richness of nature and talk to God until the wee hours of the morning.

silence really is golden nowadays when communication is one click away and distractions abound. so it is important for any person to pause once in a while and take the time to discover peace within.
