silence.

I learnt something valuable today from my sister. That is the power of silence. All around us is constant communication. We are programmed to always have something to say. Something to fill the silence. We feel the need to find the right words, and say them at the right times. I realized today that we don't always have the right words. We don't always know what to say in order to make a situation better. Instead of filling the silence with empty words sometimes its ok to let silence speak for you. Sitting in silence while someone pours out all their emotions and being there to hold them for hours as they cry. Because we don't always have the right words to say and there is comfort in knowing that is ok. Let silence speak the words that we don't have. 

“Silence is pure and holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking.” -Nicholas Sparks
