The room was quiet and I did not rush to fill it

Dear Delyara, That felt like growth. Not because silence is always easy for me. Because I didn’t immediately distract myself out of it. No reaching for my phone, no music, no podcast, no background voice to save me from the stillness before I had even given it a chance. I just sat there. And the silence turned out to be kind. I think I am learning that not every quiet moment contains danger or emotional backlog. Some are simply quiet. I want to trust that faster.
