THE WEIGHT OF QUIET

Some silences feel heavy.
They press against your chest, fill the room, and make you wonder if you should speak just to break them.
Other silences feel light.
Like a warm blanket, like a pause between laughs, like a breath that finally comes easy.
We forget sometimes that quiet isn’t empty — it’s full.
Full of the things we haven’t said yet.
Full of the things we’re still learning to understand.
Full of rest we didn’t know we needed.
Today, let the quiet be what it is.
Don’t rush to fill it.
Listen to what it’s trying to tell you.
Because sometimes, the quiet is where we finally hear ourselves again.
With love

BECOMING: THE QUIET JOURNEY OF PERSONAL GROWTH

There’s a kind of growth no one really talks about, the kind that doesn’t come with fireworks or applause. It’s the quiet kind. The slow, uncertain, sometimes painful process of becoming. Lately, I’ve been learning that personal growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it looks like walking away from what no longer serves you, even if it’s familiar. Sometimes, it’s saying no when you used to say yes just to please others. And sometimes, it’s getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, and choosing to try again after a hard day. Growth lives in these little moments, the ones that feel small but mean everything. There are days when I feel stuck. Days when nothing feels like it’s changing. But then I look back, not just a day or a week, but months or even a year, and I realize I’m not the same person. My thoughts are clearer. My boundaries are stronger. My voice is a little more certain. And that’s growth. We often think personal growth has to be dramatic, but it’s actually found in the small, c...

THE DAY THAT WAITED FOR YOU

Some days feel impatient, full of alarms, deadlines, and lists that chase you from the moment you wake. But today feels different. It’s not rushing you. It’s waiting.

Maybe that’s the gift of today, a reminder that not every day demands you to sprint. Some days simply open their hands and say, I’ll be here when you’re ready. So take your time. Sip your coffee a little slower. Step into the day when your heart says yes. It will still be here, waiting. ___Mariam Shosanwo
